Oh my God,

that editor is so cool, I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw it! What a
great job!!! It is so easy to use and you even integrated it using the games
own code, cool.
I don't know what to say else but WOW :-)
Oh well, there's one thing to say, please tell me if I can help you with the
editor in any way.
