Tiled
A flexible, general-purpose tile map editor for creating game levels in RPGs, platformers, and other tile-based games.
What is Tiled?
Tiled is a general-purpose tile map editor used for creating levels and maps in tile-based video games such as RPGs, platformers, and Breakout clones. It provides a flexible environment with no restrictions on map size, tile dimensions, or the number of layers, allowing developers to design complex game worlds efficiently. The editor uses the TMX map format, which is easy to understand and supports multiple tilesets per map.
Game developers, hobbyists, and indie studios working on 2D tile-based games, including RPGs, platformers, and puzzle games. It is particularly useful for those needing a versatile, open-source tool for level design.
Developers choose Tiled for its unparalleled flexibility, lack of arbitrary restrictions, and the ease of using its TMX map format. As an open-source tool, it offers a cost-effective alternative to proprietary editors while supporting a wide range of game development workflows.
