Very quick update, I've been taking the XML Maps from the Editor in it's current form and loading them into the actual game now, this has required a change of several subsystems inside the Grid/Map loading code.
The most important change has been caching one copy of each image, so minimising memory use, and then customising them at a surface level to add walls, drawing all this once and then just rendering the one single image we hold in RAM, whilst the rest of the images can be dropped out of memory to again free more resources.
Anyway, here's a screen shot of the game (background left) with the map editor open showing the map in design.
Path finding of course routes around the walls, and tiles can be toggles as blocking or not, opening up the ability now to add doors or even hidden/false/magic doors.
