TMEditor

A Map Editor for 2D Tile-Based Games

TMEditor is a free, versatile tool designed for crafting detailed map layouts. It empowers you to define abstract elements like collision zones, enemy spawn points, and power-up locations, storing all this information in the standardized and convenient .tmx format.

How Does TMEditor Work?

The core workflow for creating maps with TMEditor involves a few straightforward steps:

1. Select your map dimensions and foundational tile size.

2. Import tilesets from your image files.

3. Arrange and place tilesets across your map.

4. Add custom objects to represent abstract game elements.

4. Export your completed map as a .tmx file.

5. Import and interpret the .tmx file within your game engine.
