tilemap-editor is a Pygame-based map editor focused on fast iteration for 2D games.

Credits: The initial version of this project was based on DaFluffyPotato's platformer tutorial which is about 6-hours. If you want to understand the foundation this project started from, I highly recommend watching his video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gABYM5M0ww. While the editor has since evolved with many additional features and improvements, the original map format has been preserved for compatibility.

Several features and design ideas were also inspired by the Godot Engine, including the animation workflow, polygon collision editing, and character collision (Sprite2D-style) editing.
