TuDee now has a module for loading and drawing a map in Monkey. Get the latest version here:
http://www.diorgo.com/v1/?p=366

The module, tudeetdx requires the Diddy module. It loads a TDX (TuDee XML) file which is exported from TuDee with the TDX exporter.

It can load a TDX file which contains a single map or multiple maps.

The module and an example of how to use it, are installed in the folder “Examples\Tdx\Monkey”.

Please post any questions, comments, suggestions and bugs here.

Find out more about the TDX exporter here:

TuDee now has an XML exporter that allows you to select which data to export. Get the latest version here:

Supporting TDX (TuDee XML)

If anyone writes any libraries to read TDX, in any language or engine, please send me the link and I’ll add it here.

TDX file format (TuDee XML)

Base64
The Grid Data, Instance Entities and Paths can also be exported as Base64, and optionally compressed with zlib or gzip.
The data is packed into an array of bytes, then compressed if compression is selected, then converted to Base64. The array is stored in little endian format.

zlip compression
The zlib compression is done with zlib, using the compress2 function to compress the data in memory. The data is then converted to Base64.

gzip compression
gzip compression is done with zlib, using the gzwrite function to write the compressed data to a temporary file. The file is then loaded into memory and converted to Base64.

Example of an exported TDX file

The exporter allows you to export everything into a single file, or multiple files (e.g. one file for each map). The following example contains all the data in a single file.

The 24-Hour Comics Day will be held in Cape Town on October 1st!

For registration and info email lieve.vanleeuw@gmail.com

Below is an extract from the press release:


24-Hour Comics Day (24HCD) is an event held around the world which challenges writers and artists to create a full 24-page comic in 24 consecutive hours. Since this is the first 24HCD in Cape Town, and probably in South Africa, we are going all-out to inspire our participating artists and entertain the audience with animation and graphic novel movies from 5 continents, music and an exhibition with a mix of illustration and comic art. Our cherry on the cake, will be a live-feed with 24HCD in Amsterdam, organised by the ‘sketch battle queen’ Maia Matches.

There will be a small award ceremony held at the end with winners of 1st 2nd and 3rd prizes.

The event will be held at Hoodwinx Creative space- 77 Roodebloem Road in Woodstock from Saturday 1 October at 2pm until Sunday 2 October at 2pm. The event is planned and organised with lots of passion and few resources. Hoodwinx will provide an awesome space, tables and chairs, gallery space and music. Co/Mix will provide artworks, artists, art supplies and movies.
