An extension to allow chingu to load tilemaps from the tiled map editor ( mapeditor.org )
To use, first copy tmx_loader.rb and tile_map.rb to your project. Then you can specify the .tmx file via chingu’s autoload feature, e.g.
map = TmxTileMap["filename.tmx"]
then simply add to your draw / update loop as with any other BasicGameObject
Directories that are automatically searched for filename.tmx (relative to the script) are
-
“maps”
-
“media/maps”
-
“../media/maps”
Custom directories can be added in the usual chingu way
