I started work on Verge programming a couple of days ago, and I just uploaded the results of my first efforts.

It's the beginnings of an isometric tile battle system. So far, I have a working (although not fully fleshed out) menu system, and can save, load, display, and edit a 20 tile * 20 tile isometric map.

Admittedly, I only have one actual tile to use, and it can only be used at two map heights, but the code to support additional tiles and more map heights is there.

You can also change the color scheme of the menus, and it will remember your color scheme the next time you run the program.

Edit - I haven't uploaded the new version, but I now have mouse control working. I can click on a menu option and activate it, and click on a map tile and the program will recognize which tile I selected. Mouse control can also be turned on and off in the options menu.

I saw an ad for War of Lions and it reminded me of two things:
1) how much fun I had with the original
2) that I needed something to do while procrastinating

I agree with Code, this is very cool! ...even though I don't know any of that lions war stuff

Oh, Final Fantasy Tactics on the original psx actually is my favorite game of all time.
I'm ashamed I did not know of that remake... what kind of fan am I :'(
