TMEditor

Tiled Map Editor for 2D Games

TMEditor is a powerful, free tool designed to simplify the creation of map layouts for 2D games. It's not just about placing tiles; TMEditor's versatility extends to defining abstract elements such as collision areas, enemy spawn points, and power-up locations. All this data is conveniently saved in the standardized .tmx format, ensuring compatibility and ease of use.

How Does TMEditor Work?

The process of creating maps with TMEditor is straightforward and efficient, following these steps:

1. Choose your map size and base tile size to set the foundation of your game world.
2. Add tilesets from image(s) to provide the visual elements for your map.
3. Place the tilesets on the map to build the layout.
4. Add any additional objects to represent abstract concepts like collision areas or spawn points.
5. Save the map as a .tmx file for easy storage and retrieval.
6. Import the .tmx file and interpret it for seamless integration into your game.
