What I learned from this project

The main learning point from this project is that I learned how to build up a project by slowly developing “modules” so to say of a project. I tried my best to keep all features of this project as separate as possible in the code which made it easy to add new features to the project while the project developed.

I also learned how to customize a .readme file on GitHub while developing TileEdit. I never did this before.
