Tiled MapEditor files

This folder contains all the files to create or change new / existing levels with Tiled MapEditor.

Creating new Levels

To create a new level, download the Tiled MapEditor. A Level-Template.tmx can be found in this folder. The only supported tileset currently is /tiled/Terrain.tsx. Please make sure to NOT save the new Level with embedded tileset. If you're done creating the level and would like to use it in the game, export it in JSON format and store it in quarkus-server/src/main/java/resources/maps. Then you need to update MapResource.java to include this new level in the levels array of the init() method.

If you want to change the order of the levels, please feel free to do so by updating corresponding array in MapResource.init().

Maps can be of any size. The only important thing you need to keep in mind are the names and function of the layers of a map:

  • Ground: This is the base ground of the level. You can put any tile here.
  • Frame: This layer is the border of the map. Anything placed here will be used as barrier for player and enemies. Anything placed here can be destroyed with a bomb.
  • Dekor: Use this layer to place decorative tiles on. For example flowers on water or stones on sand.
  • Bonus: Use this layer to place your bonus items on. Any tile placed here can be a bonus which adds a score of 10 points. Once the player walks over it, the bonus item gets removed. Special bonus tile is the bomb, which provides 5 more bombs to the player to be used to destroy frames. Also the meat and the cheese are bonus items, which gives your player more energy. Have a look at the Terrain.tsx tileset. The bonus items are all placed on the lower left corner of the tileset image.
  • Persons: This layer will be used to place the player and enemies on. Use the corresponding tiles as player and enemies. Note, you MUST not place more than one player (except for a dedicated multiplayer level), but you CAN place more than one enemy. If you want to use the spider enemy, you also have to provide the Persons layer's properties:
    • enemyEmitterActive: Must be true
    • enemyNumEmitting: how many spiders should be emitted at all
    • enemyTimeEmitting: how long to wait until the enemies are being emitted in milliseconds If you want to use Golem enemies, please make sure to create a new Object layer in Tiled called Paths and use the Insert polygon function of Tiled to create a walking path for that Golem. Please also make sure that each path needs to have a custom string property called forEnemy with the name of the Golem this path is meant for. Golems are numbered from top left to bottom right: Golem.n, where n=1... Have a look at the level Golems.tmx as example.

You might add more layers to your map. Any layer placed on top of Persons will be drawn last, which means it will draw over enemies and player sprites.
