cocograph 0.1.0

Cocograph v0.2.0 tile map editor for cocos2d
requires: python 2.5+, pyglet 1.1+
included: cocos2d, and kytten (could become dependencies later)


How to use

'Open' or create a 'New' map. Tilesets required by an existing map will
be loaded with the map. Click on a tile to select it for use with the
pencil tool. Click on a tileset name tab to use that tileset.


Creating a New Map

Enter the size of tiles and the map and submit, you can then save the
map and it will be loaded into Cocograph. You can then open an existing
tileset from the tileset dialog menu or create a new one.


Creating a New Tileset

From Dir:
Select a directory containing images (.png, ,jpg, .bmp, .gif), you
can then save the tileset and it will be loaded into Cocograph. You
will probably want the images in the directory to be the same size.

From Image:
Select and image, enter the tile size and if there's any padding
around the tiles. You can then save the tileset and it will be loaded
into Cocograph.


Layers

The 'op' slider adjusts the opacity of the currently selected layer.
'+' adds a new layer. Enter a layer ID, tile size, and Z origin
(to determine the ordering of layers). '-' removes the currently
selected layer. 'Properties' allows you to add / change properties
for the currently selected layer.
