I usually start drawing.. i dont see any of that in here since you wanted to show how to build a map bit by bit. Also its kind of random to start a map witout an idea of something. try to write down in your first post what you are going to make and why.

the thing is that everyone can drag random boxes in gtk. just try to give it meaning before you post it. that would be much better.

I want to see what this is.
