💖 TILED(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about tiled, the manual page for the tile map editor. yes THE tile map editor. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

tiled — tile map editor. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tiled [OPTIONS] [FILES...]

literally just tiled, then some options if you're feeling fancy, then the files you wanna open. slay.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so Tiled is a general purpose tile map editor. general purpose means it does NOT care what kind of game you're building, it's showing up for you either way. 💅

it's built to be easy to use, but also flexible enough to work with varying game engines — so whether your game is an RPG, a platformer, or a Breakout clone, Tiled said "say less, I got you." 🔥

and the best part? Tiled is free software, written in C++, and it uses the Qt application framework. not me getting emotional over open source 🥹

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — shows you the help. when in doubt, ask for help, bestie, no shame in it 💖
• -v, --version — prints the version so you know exactly which era of Tiled you're living in ⭐
• --quit — only checks whether your arguments are valid. like a bouncer that just vibe-checks your args and then leaves. doesn't actually run anything 🙈
• --disable-opengl — turns OFF hardware accelerated rendering. for when the GPU wants to start drama 💀
• --export-map [format] tmx file target file — exports the specified tmx file to the target. give it a format, a source, and a destination, and it handles the rest 🌈
• --export-formats — prints out a whole list of the supported export formats. window shopping but for file types ✨
