Tiled map to processing.

edited June 2016 in How To...

Hello everyone, I made some map by "tiled map editor" and I want to use it in my game. Do you think it would be possible? In tiled i can export map in ".json/ .csv / .js / .lua or .tmx". I think it's could by possible be .json but I don't know how use it in processing. Can you help my please? I tried to export map like PNG but it has horrible quality.. Thanks for your advices.

    json and csv can be used in processing, however, loading file by itself won't help, you'll need to create visualization algorithm by yourself.

    Can you show the exported csv or json? It would be easier to help.

    I found an article, explaining how to do it, but not in processing, a general approach: http://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/tutorials/parsing-and-rendering-tiled-tmx-format-maps-in-your-own-game-engine--gamedev-3104

  • Yeah, sure. Code from .json : ( The code was much too long, so it is not full ) { "height":60, "layers":[ { "data":[353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353, 353,

  • I think there is a tutorial on working with json files at processing.org . Check out Daniel shiffmans YouTube channel. He has some videos on how to work with json and CSV and XML.

  • In this forum, if you search "json" you should get some hits of people processing json files. Please note the search engine in this forum is not great. I would suggest only typing single relevant words - keywords - like "json" or "xml" (no quotes).

    You can also check the reference for relevant entries:

    https://processing.org/reference/

    Try checking loadTable for csv and parseXML and parseJSONObject/Array.

  • googling "site:forum.processing.org json" is usually better
