How theniteswhosay/chkdraft works

Chkdraft is a Windows map editor intended as a remake of Scmdraft. Its principal workflow is editing a StarCraft map through the desktop interface and saving map data; the tree also shows dedicated editors for terrain, actors, map settings, and triggers. MappingCore contains scenario, CHK, archive, and rendering modules, while Chkdraft has UI and graphics layers. The sampled code confirms app startup, asset-change handling, and a separate map-rendering utility; wiring between most editor subsystems is not shown, so uncertain links are omitted.
