In this tutorial series we will be covering using the open source Tiled map editor. Today we cover the basics of Tiled, how to load in tilesets and create a map. How layering works.

Map-Tiler - Take a group of "layer images" (walls, floors, etc.) and turn them into a tileset and a Tiled file. Removes duplicate tiles as it imports, has support for generating rooms, and other features. This is very handy when you create maps or levels in layers in a vector or pixel art editor.

Full-featured Level Editor. Tiled is a free and open source, easy to use, and flexible level editor.

Tiled is a general purpose tile map editor. It functions as a free tool to allow the easy creation of map layouts. It is versatile enough to allow specifying more abstract things such as collision areas, enemy spawn positions, or power-up positions. It saves all of this data in a convenient, standardized tmx format.
