map editor question

[Vanbandama]

Hi. What map editor do you recommend for level design?

Tiled is free and there are implementations for it in frameworks like fantomCX, ignitionX and pyro.
But to be honest, I don't know how it compares to others.

I use Mappy because it can export as text. With a little tweaking the text file can be used as data statements. And is a nice simple editor.

In official docu of Tiled I saw that for monkey x they developed module named bit.tiled. ? How to add/import this to cerberus? I searched for info about modules in documentation (cerberus) but there's general info what module is.

Where can it be downloaded?

In the language reference module chapter

Where can it be downloaded?

Here, but it seems it is just another loader for tmx files.


The question is, if you want to use a framework.

I'm using Tiled on my games as well. Their "tmx" format is just a xml file, so you can use any xml reader to read the data and use it as you desire
