gotta be honest here, I started two days ago so I’ll submit what I have so far.
I’ll finish it off some other time and upload it here <3
really not used to making editors for stuff, but I think I’m blundering through pretty well:
(heres a link to a web version so you can play with what I have so far)
use the arrow keys to move the cursor, and click the tile types to alter the current tile.

didnt quite think the tile thing through, so I’ll have to have a way of having more than one plane per tile. after that I’ll be getting on to textures 
so I’m going to be making a tile-based level editor… a 3D one… kind of. I guess really its 2.5D but whatever, heres a mockup of the interface:
to tell the truth I’m still working on the bits of it that build the level, but I guess that grows up with the editor, so hopefully it will all fall into place and if not, I’ll learn something
—edit—
so its started coming together:
Okay, there’s now a ship editor that loads and saves! You can’t actually choose which tile to use (of course, there is only one tile… but you can’t erase it!), but you can load, save, and exit. And it shows you the waterline.
Pretty classy ship, huh?
Yay! I have a working editor! Im using director and layout out sprites and rect at positions and various sizes.
And here is an ingame view of the map, after a little playing
I had some framerate issues, was only stuff intersecting at load (Phew)
Fully functional level editor! Lets you draw the map, and saves and loads. And check out that hardcore artwork!! Hopefully I will update that later…
This was my second entry, and the first time that I got something playable. This is still one of my favorite games from LD, even though the graphics are a little simple.
TIE is a puzzle/platformer, where must build a roadway across a series of ice floes, while avoiding the exploding sheep.
