This is an demo of dtiled, a general-purpose tilemap library.

How do I run it?

This demo requires a backend to create a display and render tiles. Currently, either DAllegro or DGame can serve as the backend.

These are provided as separate dub configurations:

dub -c allegro
dub -c dgame

For the allegro version, you must have allegro5.0 installed on your system. For the dgame version, you must have SDL.

I'd be happy to accept pull requests with examples of using dtiled with other backends.

When you run the demo, you should see a window appear rendering a tilemap. Use WASD to scroll around the map.

Press space to toggle your current 'tool', which is applied by clicking the left mouse button.

Currently there are two tools:

• enclosure, which demonstrates enclosedCoords
  • try clicking inside the building, it should highlight all tiles inside
• flood, which demonstrates floodFill
  • clicking on a tile should flood all tiles of the same type with color

You can right-click to clear all highlighting.

The Map

The map rendered in this demo was created using Tiled. The buildMap function in tilemap.d demonstrates how you can use dtiled to load a json file exported from Tiled.

Media

The tile sheets used in this example are taken from an old project of mine and are free to use under CC0. They can also be found on opengameart
