One of the most important weapons in the game developer's arsenal is the level editor . In this recipe we will create a level using the Tiled level editor. We will then create a simple top-down world using this level.
Execute the following code:
//Interface
@interface Ch8_Tiled : GameArea2D {
CCTMXTiledMap *tileMap;
}
@end
//Implementation
@implementation Ch8_Tiled
-(CCLayer*) runRecipe {
//Load TMX tilemap file
tileMap = [CCTMXTiledMap tiledMapWithTMXFile:@"tilemap.tmx"];
//Set game area size based on tilemap size
[self setGameAreaSize];
//Superclass initialization and message
[super runRecipe];
[self showMessage:@"Use the DPad to move the actor around."];
//Add tile map
[gameNode addChild:tileMap z:0];
/* Re-order layers according to their Y value. This creates isometric depth. */
//Our layers
CCTMXLayer *collidableLayer...
