Tiled Plugin for Excalibur.js

Tiled is a super useful tool for building game levels across the industry. The Tiled plugin for Excalibur offers support for both Orthogonal (standard) and Isometric maps!

The current Tiled plugin aims to support parsing all data in the Map (.tmx/.tmj), Tileset (.tsx, .tsj.) and Template files (.tx, tj). The plugin however does not support rendering all map types, currently hexagons and isometric staggered are not supported.

The plugin officially supports the latest version of Tiled that has been published and will warn if you are using an older version. This is because there have been many breaking changes to the Tiled map format over time that are difficult to reconcile.

Installation

npm install --save-exact @excaliburjs/plugin-tiled@next

Create your resource, load it, then add it to your scene!

const game = new ex.Engine({...});

const tiledMap = new TiledResource('./path/to/map.tmx');

const loader = new ex.Loader([tiledMap]);

game.start(loader).then(() => {
    tiledMap.addToScene(game.currentScene);
});
