A simple tool for creating 2D game maps 🌏

Go to app

Features

• Multi-layering
• Map matrix
• Advanced Tools — Paint-Bucket, Brush, etc.
• Autosave (depends if FileSystemAccess API is supported on your browser)

How to Use

• Tile Placement: Select a material, a tool (e.g. brush), and a layer. Then you can paint on the canvas just like you would on MS Paint.
• Matrix Generation: Matrix is automatically generated based on the placement of your tiles. To view a matrix, select a layer and go to matrix tab. Note that each layer has a matrix.
• Export: You can export in 3 different formats:
  1. .mpmkr - Project file.
  2. .png - Image snapshot of the whole map.
  3. .txt - Multiple text files that represents each layer's matrix.

Important Notes

• Never have a matrix id that contains the matrix separator — It will corrupt your project!
• The default matrix separator is a space: ' '. You can change this in Edit > Change matrix separator
• Properly name your image files because they will be the basis of material name and matrix id.
• Do not set the matrix tab active while painting to avoid lag.
• Always lock the layers that you finish to avoid painting on wrong layers!
