Making custom TNT Dude maps
---------------------------

First edit the in.txt file in any normal text editor (like Notepad). I recommend using a fixed-width font like Lucida Console. You should immediately be able to tell how this file's format works. Basically, each row on the file corresponds to one row on the map. Each character on this row corresponds to one block. Here's what character to use for each block type:

Blank Space:          (space)
Hard Block:         *
Soft Block:         .
Bomb Powerup:       o (must be lowercase)
Power Powerup:      +
Superpower Powerup: x (must be lowercase)

As for teleporters, you can use any alphabet letter for a teleporter. A lowercase letter creates a teleporter, and an uppercase letter creates a teledest. An "a" teleporter will teleport people to an "A" teledest, and a "b" teleporter to a "B" teledest, and so on. You can have multiple teleporters pointing to one teledest if you wish.

Then run the MapConvertor.class Java program, which converts your map from this format to a format TNT Dude likes. Windows users can just double-click the run.bat batch file.

The program should write a out.map file. This file can be renamed to whatever you like (as long as the .map file extension stays, and the filename is less than 30 characters) and placed into your PSP/TNTDUDE/maps folder. You should then be able to select your map and play it.
