Map Files (.gmap)

Overview

An example map file is included under the resources directory.

The map file is a text file that holds the tile index from a spritesheet. The example below shows the result based on the example spritesheet.

111,186*8,112
160,162*8,161
160,162*8,161
160,162*8,161
137,187*8,138

Tile Row Expansion

Using TileIndex*n will cause the tile to be copied to the next n tiles.

Example:

111,186*8,112
This will display the tile at index 186 8 times.

Wall Tile Option

Prefixing a tile index with a . will create a wall based tile.

Example:

.111,.186*8,.112
All the tiles in this row will be walls.
