Tiled Map Editor

Description

On this page you will find various classes to help using Tiled Map Editor in Gideros. Enjoy :-)

note: you may have to provide your own assets (fonts, gfx, …)

Tiled Map Editor

LOAD YOUR MAP

Here is a class to load your Tiled map in Gideros.

note: world is used for Box2D (LiquidFun) or CBUMP but you can remove it and adapt to your needs

LevelX = Core.class(Sprite)

function LevelX:init()
	application:setBackgroundColor(0x0)
	-- the tiled world
	self.tiled_level = Tiled_Levels.new(self.world, "tiled/levels/level01.lua")
	self:addChild(self.tiled_level)
end

Below is the Tiled_Levels class.

BUILD YOUR MAP

Here is the class to import the levels your created in Tiled and draw them in Gideros using the RECTANGLES, POLYGONS, ELLIPSES classes you will find further below on this page.

note: don't forget to exclude from execution your level lua file (right click -> exclude from execution)

note2: those are placeholder names (bg = background layer, mg = middle ground layer...) adapt to your needs

Here are the classes to import the shapes your created in Tiled and draw them in Gideros.

note: don't forget to export your Tiled map to a lua file and exclude it from execution (in Gideros Studio)

Tiled Map Editor: IMAGE LAYER

It is the same as above:

• we load the Tiled level in the scene (our level)
• we have a class which will load our images from Tiled to our level

Our Level

LevelX = Core.class(Sprite)

function LevelX:init()
	-- b2d world
	if g_currentlevel == 1 then self.world = b2.World.new(0, 20, true) -- XXX
	elseif g_currentlevel == 2 then self.world = b2.World.new(0, 20, true) -- XXX
	else self.world = b2.World.new(0, 20, true) -- XXX
	end
	-- lists
	self.world.grounds = {}
	self.world.groundnmes = {}
	self.world.airnmes = {}
	-- ...
	-- the tiled level
	tiled_levels = {}
	tiled_levels[1] = loadfile("tiled/levels/forest01.lua")()
	tiled_levels[2] = loadfile("tiled/levels/mountain_village.lua")()
	-- ...
	g_currentlevel = 1
	self.tiled_level = Tiled_Levels.new(self.world, tiled_levels[g_currentlevel])
	-- ...
	-- order
	self:addChild(self.tiled_level )
end

IMAGES

Here is the class to import images from Tiled and draw them in your game.

Tiled_Levels = Core.class(Sprite)

function Tiled_Levels:init(xworld, xtiledlevel)
	self.world = xworld
	-- the Tiled map size, I need the Tiled map dimensions for the parallax
	self.mapwidth, self.mapheight = xtiledlevel.width * xtiledlevel.tilewidth,
		xtiledlevel.height * xtiledlevel.tileheight
	print("map size "..self.mapwidth..", "..self.mapheight,
		"app size "..myappwidth..", "..myappheight, "all in pixels.")
	-- camera
	self.camera = Sprite.new()
	-- game layers
	self.bg2_backB = Sprite.new() -- game bg: nmes, deco, ...
	self.bg2_backA = Sprite.new() -- game bg: nmes, deco, ...
	self.bg2_base = Sprite.new() -- game bg: nmes, deco, ...
	self.bg2_frontA = Sprite.new() -- game bg: nmes, deco, ...
	-- ...
	-- order
	self.camera:addChild(self.bg2_backB)
	self.camera:addChild(self.bg2_backA)
	self.camera:addChild(self.bg2_base)
	self.camera:addChild(self.bg2_frontA)
	self.camera:addChild(self.bg2_frontB)
	-- ...
	-- final
	self:addChild(self.camera)

	-- put all the Tiled Tileset images in a table
	local tilesetimages = {}
	local tilesets = xtiledlevel.tilesets
	for i = 1, #tilesets do
		local tileset = tilesets[i]
		-- TILESETS
		-- ********
		if tileset.name == "images" then -- your Tiled Tileset! name here
			local tiles = tileset.tiles
			for i = 1, #tiles do
				tilesetimages[tiles[i].id+1] = {
					path=tiles[i].image,
					width=tiles[i].width,
					height=tiles[i].height,
				}
			end
		end
	end

	-- parse the Tiled level
	local layers = xtiledlevel.layers
	local myshape -- shapes from Tiled
	local mytable -- intermediate table for shapes params
	for i = 1, #layers do
		local layer = layers[i]

		-- PLAYABLE
		-- ********
		-- ...

		-- GROUPED IMAGES
		-- **************
		local path = "tiled/levels/"
		if layer.name == "IMAGES" then -- group
			local layers2 = layer.layers
			for i = 1, #layers2 do
				local layer2 = layers2[i]
				if layer2.name == "bg_images_deco" then
					local objects = layer2.objects
					for i = 1, #objects do
						local object = objects[i]
						local tex = Texture.new(path..tilesetimages[object.gid].path, false)
						local bitmap = Bitmap.new(tex)
						bitmap:setAnchorPoint(0, 1) -- because I always forget to set Tiled object alignment
						local scalex, scaley = object.width / tex:getWidth(), object.height / tex:getHeight()
						bitmap:setScale(scalex, scaley)
						bitmap:setPosition(object.x, object.y)
						bitmap:setRotation(object.rotation)
						self.bg2_base:addChild(bitmap)
					end
				elseif layer2.name == "fg_images_deco" then
					local objects = layer2.objects
					for i = 1, #objects do
						local object = objects[i]
						local tex = Texture.new(path..tilesetimages[object.gid].path, false)
						local bitmap = Bitmap.new(tex)
