A TMX TileMap framework for SpriteKit. Supporting iOS 8 and OS X 10.10 and above.

This is a library for parsing the maps generated by Tiled Map Editor.

• Cocoapods
  1. pod 'SKTiledMap'
  2. Add #import <SKTiledMap/SKTiledMap.h> to your source file.
• Manually
  1. Download the latest code version
  2. Open your project in Xcode, then drag and drop Framework/ folder into your project
  3. configure Dependencies
  4. Add #import 'SKTiledMap.h' to your source file.

SKTMMapLayer *mapLayer = [[SKTMMapLayer alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:@"map.tmx"];
[self addChild:mapLayer];

// get tile layer
SKTMTileLayer *tileLayer = [mapLayer tileLayerWithName:@"Ground"];
    
// get object layer
SKTMObjectGroupLayer *objLayer = [mapLayer objectLayerWithName:@"Obj"];
// get shape in object layer
SKTMObjectGroupShape *heroObjShape = [objLayer shapeWithName:@"Hero"];
// get custom properties
[heroObjShape.model propertyForName:@"status"];
    
// get image layer
SKTMImageLayer *imgLayer = [mapLayer imageLayerWithName:@"Background"];

// Coordinates System Convert
CGPoint tilePoint = [mapLayer.mapRenderer screenToTileCoords:CGPointMake(320, 600)];
CGPoint mapPoint = [mapLayer.mapRenderer tileToScreenCoords:CGPointMake(1, 1)];

// more detail you can see in demo or source code.
