README

What is this repository for?

• C++ loader and data structure for .tmx maps created by Tiled Map Editor.
• Version 1.0.
• Supports:
  • Tiled .tmx maps exported as XML
  • TileSets
  • Layers
  • Properties
• Not-supported yet:
  • Objects
  • Terrain
  • Tile-flipping
  • Image layers

Using the code

• Export your Tilemap using XML
• The following code snippet shows how to get access to your map's data:
• TMXLoader stores a collection of TMXMaps, so you can load a group of maps and access their data later as you please.
• There is an included SDL demo showing how to use the library.

#!c++

TMXLoader* loader = new Loader();
loader->loadMap("testmap", "Assets/testmap.tmx"); 
loader->printMapData("testmap"); // prints map data to console, useful for debugging

loader->getMap("testmap"); // gets a map loaded and held by TMXLoader
loader->getMap("testmap")->getVersion();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getOrientation();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getWidth();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getHeight();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileWidth();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileHeight();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getBackgroundColourArray();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getRenderOrder();

loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getName();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getSource();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getFirstGID();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getLastGID();

loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getImageWidth();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getImageHeight();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getTileWidth();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getTileHeight();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getSpacing();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getMargin();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getOffsetX();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getOffsetY();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getTransparentColourArray();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getTileCount();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getProperty("property1");

loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getTile(1);
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileSet("defaulttileset")->getTile(1)->getProperty("tileproperty1");

loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileLayer("Tile Layer 1")->getName();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileLayer("Tile Layer 1")->getWidth();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileLayer("Tile Layer 1")->getHeight();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileLayer("Tile Layer 1")->getTileVector();
loader->getMap("testmap")->getTileLayer("Tile Layer 1")->getProperty();
