PlayBasic-Pic-2-Map V0.07 - Released - 22nd,Jan,2015

     Here's the latest build of the picture to map conversion tool. For those that are not familiar this tool loads a picture (BMP / PNG format recommended) and converts this picture into a series of unique tiles with an accompanying PlayBasic level file. The user can pick the size of the block and even the alpha masking applied to the image before conversion.

     For this release we've update the conversion method and converted some of the conversion routines machine code via PlayBasic2DLL. So in other words, we took the main work horse routines out and compiled them as a DLL, then just linked them back into our program. The result gives much faster conversion when the user selects tiny block sizes, such as 2*2 or 4*4 the source image is very large.
