Map maker - C++ & Allegro - [ How does it work? ]

Well, here is a little video about how my map maker works.
This video is NOT intended to be a TUTORIAL.
I'm just giving you some ideas of how it works, and how can you make it.
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand what I'm saying XD heh

If you have any question you can ask me with a comment!

Maybe I'm not a pro, but I try to help, so I hope this will help people around a little bit!

How do u get a text box to pop up in the program?

[aldex123]

@Angeljruiz I had to program it myself, checking which keys are pressed and adding the corresponding character to a String, then I print the string in the "Message Box" right there, so it feels like you are typing on it (Which is exactly what u're doing) and erasing the last character every time you hit Backspace..

[aldex123]

Well I started learning from a book called Beginning C++ through game programming.. it's pretty basic but it gives good ideas about how to use C++ for game dev purposes.
