(Remember our review of how VRAM works.) However, Polished Map++ can't display those extra graphics, so it shows a cyan border around the tile instead. diff --git a/screenshots/polished-map-plusplus-edit-block.png b/screenshots/polished-map-plusplus-edit-block.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4037759 --- /dev/null +++ b/screenshots/polished-map-plusplus-edit-block.png diff --git a/screenshots/polished-map-plusplus-edit-tile.png b/screenshots/polished-map-plusplus-edit-tile.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c996b7e --- /dev/null +++ b/screenshots/polished-map-plusplus-edit-tile.png |
