Load Tiled maps in playdate ( https://www.mapeditor.org/ )
copy the following sources to your project:
- source/ChickenTiledLoader.lua
- source/helperfunctions.lua
- source/Models/*.lua (optional, for autocomplete)
import 'ChickenTiledLoader'
local tmjloader = ChickenTiledLoader()
tmjloader:loadTMJ('assets/example.tmj')
and then use the methods available in the tmjloader object itself, down in the documentation
To release, either let it run out of scope, or set it to nil if retaining a reference
tmjloader = nil
in main.lua, you can check an example of loading a TMJ file
Run the project by opening it in vscode in windows and running Build and Run (Simulator).ps1
- Can only load TMJ files (Tiled map JSON format), no TMX
- Only supports a single TSJ tileset per TMJ. Either embedded in the TMJ itself or as a sepatate, referenced TSJ. Multiple TMJ files can reference the same TSJ tileset, no problem.
- Only supports orthogonal maps
- The name of the images referenced in the TMJ/TSJ files need to follow playdate's pattern, aka. image-table-width-height.png
The project supports playdate type annotations: https://github.com/Minalien/playdate-type-annotations
