Update (Aug 27, 2022) Released the Simple 2D Tile Editor version 1.01 Now you can select three editor sizes (small/medium/large) from the Editor Size menu. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cxKDCfIbPVpgRfRN6PLco8eoV0bPNPQI?usp=sharing Update (Aug 26, 2022) Apparently, some people are having issues running the editor so I prepared an "exe" version too. The size is larger (173MB as zip) but it's no longer a jar file so it won't be affected by the version of your/my Java. How to use: 1. Download the zip file and extract 2. Click the "editor.exe" to run * Don't delete other files in the folder, especially jdk. The editor cannot run without it.

That editor is amazing! there are certainly more sophisticated editors out there, but yours is the only one that i need! Thanks for sharing :)

Huge thank you RyiSnow! I watched your older videos and made countless of Google searches how to make 2D tile editor in Java but I always hit the wall before I even got started. Your videos have been inspirational and educational. Keep up the good work!

RyiSnow i love all your videos this is helping me learn programming so much better I've seen other tile editors and have had issues trying to implement them into the game but your editor breaks it down to a simple level that allows everyone to use it I will definitely use your editor and I hope you continue to create more content you are my go to for learning and implementation of ideas thank you 👍

Thank you very much for sharing this with us! I was really curious to see the code in it :D Always a pleasure to see you back with another video.

Thank you so much! I quit the 2d game but now Im looking forwards to using your tile editor to continue this game!

Friend, you are Genius. I start watch your videos and i learning a lot, please never stop.

Holy I cant even begin to think how you made this you are so talented

I really liked your tile editor, and found it interesting to add a custom map size system for users who want to create a gigantic map 800x800 or a tiny map 10x10 for example.

Your editor is great .It's extremely useful for this project..

Sick man, thanks for sharing. Just wondering, do you have any plans to do 3d java programming tutorials?

This is perfect! I was wondering if you already released this editor in past videos but now it's available! I made an editor myself for Android called Maply - 2D Tilemap Game Maker to make your tutorials easier to edit worlds but yours is still better :D

Very helpful! Thank you!

Hi there! Your tutorials have been amazing and I've been following them recently in order to design my own game! I'm currently on part #12 but decided to go ahead and try out the tile editor and while it is great I think it would be really nice to have a feature to make a separate file to place objects on certain tiles. I tried to decompile the jar file you posted and add this myself but I believe I've ran into some issues where not everything decompiled correctly, would you mind if I took a look at the source code? Also I am a very new developer so I don't expect this to be a perfect implementation but wouldn't mind sending it back when (and if) I'm done!

YES I JUST NOTICED THIS IS GONNA SAVE MY LIFE

Hello, I've just followed all the guide and its amazing. I'm working on my own 2d game now and I was wondering if there is any way of creating a map with custom sizes, not the 50x50, 100x100 or 250x250 that are in the tile editor. Maybe you can make a guide on how to create the tile editor or share the script for the tile editor so we can edit it. Pls :)

This inspired me to add the map size to the top of the document, that way you can use whatever map size you want. Also, I coded the tiles, objects, and events into the map data such as: 36,36 41,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,1010039,39,39,45,70003,46,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,39,42 40,160018,1,19,19,19,19,1200,1200,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,0,0,1200,1200,1200,0,0,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,40 In this case, there are 36 columns and 36 rows. Additionally, along with the map and collision data, I created another document for event data. The above shows the declaration of the map size, and just the first two lines of map data. I am parsing the data, starting from the right two characters. if there are only two characters, it means it is just a tile. If there are four characters, it means there is an object (not interactive) and a tile. For six or more characters, every two characters of the string refer to a tile, the next two refer to an object, the first characters refer to the event number from my list, currently 1 - 110. For example, where it says 1010039, it means event number 101, no object (00), and finally tile 39. In my event list, it says: 101@0@mapn1,2,24,UP. This is parsed up to the @ symbol. So, event 101, event type map change (0), load map; Mapn1; column 2; row 24, direction up (enum UP). The main difference is my code is done in Kotlin (Android Studio), originally it was coded in Java. Anyway, thanks for the confidence to try this!

You are amazing Ryi

Hey Ryisnow, I'm a bit confused, on how to open any of the versions, do I need to click something? Where do I run it?

Great job ! But if you want an advances usage for creating map (autotile, layer etc) you can use Tiled Map Editor (it's free software). It will be necessary to modify the java source code so that everything is compatible

Actually, this editor supports tile sheets too (as long as its single tile size is 16x16). You can select "Import Tilesheet" from the File menu. But you need to arrange your code to read the map data and the tile data file that is exported from a tilesheet. So if you're following my tutorial and not sure what you're doing, using the same method that is shown in the video is probably less confusing.

I've been wondering, how does this code read tile sheets? It would be great if it allows the tile sheet to be exported.

What a great video! Straight to the point and perfectly explained. Thanks for uploading tNice tutorials!

Suggestion: You should show us how to use dithering as lighting!

There's a most likely just a typo in your code. Look at the paint component and resolution for the tiles. Add debug lines to see if you are drawing the tiles correctly. Merchant probably has a swapped operator. (+ - . . . )
