Another morning of work, and the desktop edition of ASCII Mapper has a very nice, if not yet functional, GUI. (You can edit the map.)

Just saw the screenshot of your tool. Looks like it could be very handy if I want to create static areas for my game (roguelike).
Is your tool foss? Could you offer any link to a repo or something?
@themightyglider Currently it exists as a web-based prototype: https://notimetoplay.org/engines/ascii-mapper/ (also on Itch, and GitHub) that you can use until the desktop version starts working. I'll keep the same file formats.

THX!
I'll try it as soon as I can.
Already two people who saw the screenshot expressed interest in using ASCII Mapper for MU*s. I'm flattered, but... you do realize it's a tile map editor, right? It has no concept of rooms and exits, just tiles. Please consider an interactive fiction mapping tool instead.
