Sequel to Lander1.

I found useful information to start asm SMS developpement on these pages:

Maxim's step-by-step introduction: http://www.smspower.org/maxim/HowToProgram/
Z80 instructions set: http://z80-heaven.wikidot.com/instructions-set
Heliophobe's simple sprite demo: http://www.smspower.org/Homebrew/SimpleSpriteDemo-SMS
mk3man.pdf

The font tiles come from Maxim example. Thank to Souchy Boy for his musical help!

List of custom tools

Tiled tilemaps are exported in json, and converted into binary format with maps/tiled2asm.py
a map where new tiles are inserted can be fixed with maps/fixTilemap.py, where you have to program the modification you want
the music is composed with MuseScore (musescore.org) and exported in midi
midi files are converted into strings with music/midi2text.py
the music strings are converted into binary format with music/text2sms_b.py
the tiles are in PNG, and converted into binary format with Master Tile Converter (jmimu.free.fr/mastertileconverter)

Please ask me for any help with them!
