In this chapter, we have introduced and implemented the concept of graphical file management, as well as laid the foundations for one of the most important tools a small RPG-style game uses. There is still a lot left to do before we can start reaping the benefits of having proper tools. In the next chapter, we will be covering the finishing touches of the map editor, as well as implementing a different tool for managing entities. See you there!

Pupius

Raimondas Pupius is a game development enthusiast from Lithuania, currently working towards getting a degree in software engineering, as well as a few projects of his own. Having started his unofficial education in this field at the age of 9 and being introduced to video games even prior to that has guided him to this particular career choice, which was only strengthened by the experience earned from his first book SFML Game Development By Example. The ultimate dream is, of course, starting a company of his own and making professional games for a living. His other interests include web development, which was his primary interest before game development, music and linguistics.
