\"metamap\"<\/p>\n

Hello everyone! Over the past week or so, I’ve been working on some tools I used in past game jams. The first is MetaMap, a program for adding collision & other meta data to TMX maps. The original version exported this to a JSON file, but now it can save straight onto the map file. The extra data is stored on a new tile layer with the name “meta”. An early version of this tool was used for my LD 33 entry, Dis-o-rder. Download the tool here: https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=0B8yQwqpIY-TfVU9rSjFEVmVHRVE<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The second tool I’ve been working on is a libGDX base template. It uses Groovy, contains generic Ashley components, tween accessors, and a premade main menu. The code can be found here: https:\/\/github.com\/specialcode\/gdx-dynamic-template<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me and my team are very in for LD35. Good luck to all of you!<\/p>\n \n
