Plan for Chris Newman (ChazCross)

Im going to make this kind of short so i can finish this lil clone of bricks and get to desiging this tool faster.
This came about based on my poor memory of rembering what images i used in my tilemaps and that i hate to type the same things over and over.
I am going to make a small tool that will put all the images in whatever directory you define into one .cs file. This tool will allow you to define what type of ImageMaps you want for each pic it finds and also what other options you need for the colorkeyed and celled types.
One idea i have for the interface is having 3 checked boxes next to each pic name. One for single, colorkeyed and celled. This will allow you to pick each single type image you want and it will throw all those into the script file. If you choose colorkeyed or celled, it will allow you to define the options and apply it to all the images you have checked.
This has to be a cross platform tool, so i am going to choose java to program this in.
edit: Java what was i thinking... Torque script baby!!
Any suggestions?

I was just thinking about that when i woke up today.
I guess my lack of experience with scripting caused me to overlook this, and also it would be a good way for me to learn more about scripting. :)

Eventually, we'll have tools just like this, but it'd be great to see a community generated one in the mean time, and maybe yours would even be the base we build from!
