Cartographer
Cartographer is a small library for loading, reading, and drawing Tiled maps in LÖVE. It draws tile layers and tile objects, and it has various utilities to make parsing Tiled maps easier.
Documentation
Usage example
local cartographer = require 'cartographer'
-- load a map
local map = cartographer.load 'path/to/exported/map.lua'
-- get a layer by name
local terrain = map.layers.terrain
-- get a tile at a position
local gid = terrain:getTileAtGridPosition(32, 32)
-- check a tile property
local solid = map:getTileProperty(gid, 'solid')
function love.update(dt)
-- update animations
map:update(dt)
end
function love.draw()
-- draw the whole map
map:draw()
-- draw an individual layer
map.layers.terrain:draw()
end
