gdx-TiledMap

A libgdx parser for tiled https://www.mapeditor.org/

What's this about?

The current libgdx implementation is kinda wonky, broken and unmaintained.

This is a project to re-implement the tiled map parser and make it up to date.

Installation

1. Open or create gradle.properties in the root folder of your project, add the following line:

gdxTiledMapVersion=VERSION

Check Jitpack for the latest version and replace VERSION with that.

2. Add the jitpack repo to your build file.

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

3. Add that to your core modules dependencies inside your root build.gradle

project(":core") {
    ...

    dependencies {
        ...
        implementation "com.github.lyze237:gdx-TiledMap:$gdxTiledMapVersion"
    }
}

Html/Gwt project

1. Gradle dependency:

implementation "com.github.lyze237:gdx-TiledMap:$gdxTiledMapVersion:sources"

2. In your application's .gwt.xml file add (Normally GdxDefinition.gwt.xml):

<inherits name="dev.lyze.tiledmap"/>

How to test

By default, if you run ./gradlew test gradle runs headless tests. If you want to test lwjgl tests (so with an actual gui), then you need to run them with ./gradlew test -Plwjgl=true

Set environment variable SLEEPY to a millisecond number to sleep between each LWJGL test. (For example: SLEEPY=3000 would wait 3 seconds after every test.)
