2d Map Generator for platformer (visual-ts game engine)

• This is tool for creating map objects for platformer game template in visual-typescript game engine project.

  Download engine source from : https://github.com/zlatnaspirala/visual-ts-game-engine

  For visual-ts-game-engine follow : https://github.com/zlatnaspirala/visual-ts-game-engine/blob/master/readme.md for help. In best way you need to install npm modules and run :

    npm run dev
    npm run rtc
  

  Tako a look youtube videos who it works:

  

Help :

Much more easyest is creator-2dmap python script. After installation of all needed modules vie pip3 for python3, you need to run:

  # Windows
  python.exe tool.py
  # Macos - linux
  python3 ./tool.py

Possible bug on oldies linux os mint. Bug related with tkinter lib.

You need to change self.absolutePacksPath from defaults.py config file.

Put example platformer pack folder path : src\examples\platformer\scripts\packs but path must be absolute, my personal path is (For windows users : use double \ for escape ) :

This is example for windows users:

E:\\web_server\\xampp\htdocs\\PRIVATE_SERVER\\visual-ts\\project\\visual-ts\\src\\examples\\platformer\\scripts\\packs\\"

Realtive paths no need to change - Only if you use your own project modification.

    self.relativeMapPath = "\\src\\examples\\platformer\\scripts\\packs\\"
    self.relativeTexturesPath = "\\src\\examples\\platformer\\imgs\\"
    self.relativeTexGroundsPath = "grounds\\"
    self.relativeTexCollectItemsPath = "collect-items\\"

Project based on Python3 and Tk library.

Export structure :

let generatedMap = [
  {"x": 1300.0,
   "y": 375.0,
   "w": 50.0,
   "h": 50.0,
   "tex": require('../../imgs/grounds/boxAlt.png'),
   "tiles": {"tilesX": 1.0,
   "tilesY": 1.0}
  },
  {"x": 1300.0,
   "y": 275.0,
   "w": 50.0,
   "h": 50.0,
   "tex": require('../../imgs/collect-items/hudKey_green_empty.png'),
   "tiles": {"tilesX": 1.0,
   "tilesY": 1.0},
   "colectionLabel": "Level2",
   "points": 10
  },
  {"x": 600.0,
   "y": 130.0,
   "w": 50.0,
   "h": 50.0,
   "tex": require('../../imgs/collect-items/bitcoin-out.png'),
   "tiles": {"tilesX": 1.0,
   "tilesY": 1.0},
   "colectionLabel": "collectItemPoint",
   "points": 10
  }
]

I use best inside logic.Use undefined to make determination of type object. Textures tex param and tiles indicate TextureComponent If I catch colectionLabel then i check value for this key and if i find "Level" sub string then teleport is my current model. enemies refer to the enemy object.
