Tiled Map Editor for 2D Games

TMEditor is a powerful, free tool designed to simplify the creation of 2D game map layouts. It's versatile, allowing you to define not just the visual layout but also abstract elements such as collision areas, enemy spawn points, and power-up locations. All this data is efficiently stored in the standardized .tmx format, making it compatible with a wide range of game engines and tools.

How Does TMEditor Work?

Creating maps with TMEditor involves a straightforward process:

1. Select your map size and base tile size to start your project.
2. Import tilesets from images to use in your map design.
3. Arrange the tilesets on your map canvas to build your layout.
4. Add additional objects to represent abstract concepts within your game world.
5. Save your map in the .tmx format for easy integration into your game.
6. Import the .tmx file into your game engine and use it to render and interpret the map data.
