Making tile maps has been made as easy as I can make it. Designing a tile map is done with Tiled

• In Tiled, Click "File" -> "New" -> "New Map" (or CTRL+N)
• Select a fixed file amount Width of 30 and Height of 30 is recommended.
• IMPORTANT Change the "Save as type" dropdown to "JSON map files (.json)"
• Add a tileset by clicking "Map" from the top menu and click "Add External Tileset..."
• Select the .json type tileset from the tilesets folder
• IMPORTANT The tileset image will now be displayed in Tiled's "tilesets" selection view, typically on the right, just under the tile images, click "Embed Tileset".
• COMPLETE!

A warp zone is a tile that if entered by the player, it will move the user to a new map. an example of this would be if a user steps on a door tile, the user should then be transported to the map, that would be inside the house that the door belongs to.

In Tiled, there is a "Layers" section, Click a layer (I recommend a layer called "warpZones"). On the left, there will be a Layer Properties section, at the bottom click the "+" button and add a new "String" type called "placeData". The place data should be a valid JSON string. Have a key being a string containing the X,Y coords of a tile. to get the X,Y coords of a specific tile, mouse over that tile, and get the X,Y position. Lets say tile number: 17,12 we must then multiply each number by 16 to get: 272,192 That will be our Key. Then add an object under that key using { } it must have a type, in this case, warp, and a scene that will be transitioned to. Lets say overworld2 Here is an example:

[
  {"272,192": {"type":"warp", "scene": "overworld2"}}
]

Currently the naming convention for tile maps is <number>,<number>.json. The number grid system will be what is used to navigate from one grid section to another.

🔜 Coming soon: A CLI to assite with adding:

• Grid Sectiosn
• Items
• NPCs

If you need to test your JSON you can test it here Test the map by running the game, It should work succesfully.
