Java Version

The Java version is no longer maintained (unless somebody steps up to do it), but it is still available here since it has a few features that do not exist in the Qt version yet.

TTiled Map Editor

Tiled is a general purpose tile map editor. It's built to be easy to use, yet flexible enough to work with varying game engines, whether your game is an RPG, platformer or Breakout clone. Tiled is free software and written in C++, using the Qt application framework. The main features in a nutshell:

  • General purpose tile map editor with XML-based map format
  • Supports orthogonal and isometric maps
  • Custom objects can be placed with pixel precision
  • Full undo/redo and copy/paste support
  • Add custom properties to tiles, layers, objects or the map
  • Automatically reloads tilesets when changed externally
  • Resize or offset your tile map later as needed
  • Efficient tile editing tools like stamp and fill brushes
  • Supports input/output plugins to open and save files in custom formats

Tiled Qt 0.3.1 released


A few issues with the 0.3.0 release got reported, and this release is mostly about fixing those up. The list of changes:
  • Enabled undo command compression for stamp brush and eraser
  • Fixed reading of maps with non-binary-encoded layer data
  • Fixed a compile issue on Mac OS X related to QXmlStreamWriter
  • Fixed a crash when loading a map while holding Ctrl
  • Confirm overwrite on the right moment for 'Save as Image' dialog
For the next release I'm working on support for isometric maps. Hopefully there will even be time to include support for hexagonal maps as well. Stay tuned!

  • Added a tile selection tool
  • Added support for cut, copy and paste
  • Added current cursor position to the status bar
  • Added keyboard shortcuts to switch tools
  • Added scrolling the map view with middle mouse button
  • Snap objects to the grid when Ctrl is pressed
