Tiled.Net

A .NET library for reading Tiled maps.

Attention: This library is no longer being supported. Check out TiledSharp for another library that reads Tiled maps.

About Tiled.Net

Tiled.Net provides a general way of reading and writing TMX (Tiled Map XML) files. Tiled.Net aims to be usable everywhere, rather than being tied to things like XNA/MonoGame and Unity.

Tiled.Net should be compatible with the official format, which can be viewed here.

Usage

• Add the using statement

using Tiled;

Reading a Map File

• Create a new TiledMap object

var map = new TiledMap("my-map.tmx");

Accessing Layers

var layer = map.Layers[0] as TiledTileLayer;
// or
var layer = map["My Layer"] as TiledTileLayer;
...
var layerName = layer.Name;
...

Creating a Map File

• Create a new TiledMap object and initialize any necessary properties

var map = new TiledMap
{
    TileWidth = 16,
    TileHeight = 16,
    Layers = new List<TiledBaseLayer>
    {
        new TiledTileLayer
        {
            Name = "Foreground"
        }
    }
    ...
};

• Save the map to a file

// Save the map to be _readable_.
map.Save("my-map.tmx");

// Save the map to be _compact_.
map.SaveCompact("my-map.tmx");
