Tiled map loader for Gosu game development library.

Install the gem:

gem install gosu_tiled

Create yourself a game map with Tiled:

Create your TMX, make sure "Tile Layer Format" is set to "CSV" and your tilesets are embedded, then export it as JSON and use with Gosu like this:

require 'gosu'
require 'gosu_tiled'

class GameWindow < Gosu::Window
  def initialize
    super(800, 600, false)
    @map = Gosu::Tiled.load_json(self, 'path/to/map.json')
    @x = @y = 0
    @speed = 3
  end

  def update
    @x -= @speed if button_down?(Gosu::KbLeft)
    @x += @speed if button_down?(Gosu::KbRight)
    @y -= @speed if button_down?(Gosu::KbUp)
    @y += @speed if button_down?(Gosu::KbDown)
  end

  def draw
    @map.draw(@x, @y)
  end
end

GameWindow.new.show

Run it and enjoy your game map:

• Caching and other performance improvements

• TMX is based on XML
• XML is a terrible format that should be extinct
• XML parsing in Ruby is done with Nokogiri, which is a heavy library
• JSON is simple and elegant
