Sorry to be updating a very old comment, it appears that one of my links above has had Tiled file support for some time. I just haven’t published a new version of the web site recently.

Bummer when you’ve written so much code that you don’t remember haven written it.

“Fall in love with your game idea. A project made enthusiastically is better than a project made by self-imposed obligation.”

Reading this, I feel it is where I failed in my game. Thanks for helping me realize this.

Everything I used to load the tmx can be found in the “stage” tab of the source code.

I simply saved the Tiled files as XMLs and used the XMLElement class from Processing to read them.

Thanks a lot for the references! I never used piccolo, will take a look at it!

Thanks for the interesting writeup.

As a fellow Processing user, I’m curious how you went from Tiled into Processing. I have some code that loads Flixel tile maps [1] but it goes through another graphics library Piccolo2D [2] before it gets into Processing [via 3]. I will take a look at your source tomorrow.
