TMEditor: Your Free 2D Game Map Creation Tool

TMEditor is a free, versatile tool designed for easy creation of 2D game map layouts. Beyond basic tile placement, it allows you to define abstract game elements like collision areas, enemy spawn points, and power-up locations, saving all data in the standardized .tmx format.

2. Import your tilesets from image files.
3. Position your tilesets on the map.
4. Add objects to represent abstract game elements.
5. Save your map as a .tmx file.
6. Import the .tmx file into your game engine for use.
