This is also a handy reference for the arm instruction set. This is more geared towards the Archimedes but still very relevant. I have compiled it all together as a word document.

Was reading this http://www.dspassme.com/programmers_guide/tutorial/using_tiles.html#tile01

There is some great (bloody C based) info presented here and also data on using a python script to generate includes for tilemaps and to generate palettes. Sadly Gimp and Linux based also. Still, lots of pointers.

I just wanted to do a post on MappyWin32

This is really quite a help when it comes down to editing tile based levels.

Also included a mess about version of the level 1 Warhawk map to show you how well it works.
