Blaster Mapper

Level editor for the Blaster Master NES ROM.

You will need a copy of the Blaster Master ROM, which is not included.

This is an early alpha release. You can view all of the maps in the game, edit, and save them. There is some sort of bug still though resulting in corrupted maps that seems to get progressively worse the more edits you make.

Compilation

You will need to install a few packages to get this to compile. Here are a few for Debian:

libx11-dev
mesa-common-dev
libglu1-mesa-dev

How To

In a terminal, type:

./blastmap romfilename.nes

From here, you use the arrow keys to navigate.
