TMEditor

TMEditor is a powerful, free tool designed to streamline the creation of 2D game maps with ease and precision. Whether you're building a platformer, an RPG, or a top-down adventure, TMEditor provides the flexibility to design detailed map layouts while also defining abstract elements such as collision zones, enemy spawn points, or power-up locations. All map data is saved in the standardized .tmx format, making it widely compatible and simple to integrate into your game engine.

How Does TMEditor Work?

Creating a map in TMEditor follows a clear and intuitive workflow:

1. Set your preferred map dimensions and base tile size.
2. Import tilesets from your image files.
3. Paint or place tiles directly onto the map canvas.
4. Add object layers to define abstract elements like triggers, spawn points, or interactive zones.
5. Save your project in the .tmx format.
6. Import and parse the .tmx file within your game engine for seamless implementation.
