Tilemaps #14

Open define-private-public opened 6 years ago

define-private-public commented 6 years ago

It'd be nice to have something builtin that can resolve these. I'd like to get #13 solved first though. What are your opinions and thoughts?

I'd throw my hat in for supporting .tmx first, since Tiled is widely used, but I have no experience integrating it into an engine.

I agree TMX should be the format we aim to support first.

We can start with support for JSON tilemaps which is easy enough to implement. I think we probably need a few higher level constructs to represent them but I can propose a design and request feedback in this thread, or anyone else can who feels like it.
