Tilerator
20. März 2010
My friend Rico is currently doing some iPhone game development in cocos2d and seemed pretty annoyed about the way the textures had to be prepared - so I created a small AIR app to prepare textures for Tiled Map Editor. Drop your PNGs on the app, arrange them as you like, save the comp and the tiled texture. Sounds simple? It is.
App has still some flaws, and a bug might occur here and there. If so, let me know - though i won’t promise to fix that within the minute.
If this little tool helps one of you, I’m already happy as this task in Photoshop is something quite annoying and time-consuming. At least I think, and if someone has a solution for that - feel free to post.
And now download Tilerator and take it for a spin. You need AIR.
