OK, let's say I have a JavaScript game (preferabbly on jQuery framework) and its using HTML5 Canvas.

What would be your way of storing data to map out shops, monsters, and npcs? I was thinking maybe JSON txt files on the website? Or maybe simple text files and simple delimiters? I am not sure. How would you store that kind of data?

Loving the graphics. Can't wait to see a working demo!

Oh, ok.

That map editor will be online for anyone to use. So, yes, it will be released alongside the game.

I am sorry for the confusion, please don't ban me. Yes, and I will soon

UI feedback? I guess. I mean... If I am breaking the rules... you can delete this topic.

test, delete.

I'm loving the art and this looks promising!

Wow, this looks very very nice so far. From what I seen, it has a lot of potential! :D

Yes, I've used Tiled. That map editor is fine... but I prefer using Mappy. But, now, also I use the custom-made one.

And the game is from scratch. The only library I used is Google's JSON library to read maps.

and thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks Skomakar'n. However, those aren't placeholders are I am probably going to use them. I am by any means a graphical artist. As for it being a HUD placeholder... the inventory -- yes. I plan on switching to the 20 inventory slots or so.

@eclectocrat Heh thanks. And weird. I saw your game. It's awesome!

What do you guys think?

Can some mod please delete, I made a  mistake. Thank you

Repetition is the key to all learning.

Pretty sure suicide bombing can only be done once. So your theory of "key to all learning" is therefor flawed.

Pretty sure gravity would have been there somewhere.
