Tilemaps

The engine has support for loading tilemaps created with Tiled. NOTE: as of writing the engine only supports uncompressed xml layer format.

Support

Most of the Tiled map format is supported including:

• Loading and drawing
• Object groups
• Properties
• Multiple tilemaps
• External tilemap files(Tiled will generate these occasionally)

Usage

Loading tilemaps is pretty straightforward.

TMX::Map map;
map.LoadFromFile("example.tmx");

Maps inherit from GameObject so you can use the transform component just like with regular GameObject.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems loading the map open it in a text editor and look for <tileset> tags. Inside that look for <image> tags and make sure the source image path is relative to the map file(If tileset tag only has a source property to a .tsx file you will find the image tag there).
