An extension to allow chingu to load tilemaps from the tiled map editor ( mapeditor.org )

To use, first copy tmx_loader.rb and tile_map.rb to your project. Then you can specify the .tmx file via chingu’s autoload feature, e.g.

map = TmxTileMap["filename.tmx"]

then simply add to your draw / update loop as with any other BasicGameObject

Directories that are automatically searched for filename.tmx (relative to the script) are

• “maps”

• “media/maps”

• “../media/maps”

Custom directories can be added in the usual chingu way
