Hello, I recently started with Corona but I find it hard to design a map without a map editor.
Is there a good map editor for newcomers compatible with Corona?
Thanks in advance
Hi @superpanos2,
When you say “map editor” do you mean like a Tiled (tile-map) editor? Or simply a level design helper application?

Hmmm… What’s the difference between these two?
Anyway, I want to design 2d game levels with my sprites…
I think I thank I need a tile map editor, but I am not sure.
Hi @superpanos2,
Here are two popular level design utilities for Corona:
Mac: http://www.gamedevhelper.com
Windows: http://www.retrofitproductions.com/level-director/
And for tile maps, Corona doesn’t currently have a “native” tile map editor, but you should check out the following sites:

Best regards,
Brent
P.S. - apologies to anybody (or a product) in the community that I didn’t mention here. If I forgot one that should be mentioned, please respond to this post and paste the link. 
Thank you for the help.
Could you tell me how to load the level?
@supermanos2
if you want to make a tile based game (super mario,sonic,lep’s world) then Lime + Tiled is a perfect combination.
TILED:
Use this for creating your world.
LIME:

(Check tutorials!!)
Your tile engine or the code that makes you map alive 
As long as you dont use director lime works fine (almost).I guess soon it’s gonna be better.
I followed thistutorial but I have thisproblem.
It happens when I click the play button on the simulator.
Any ideas?
I use director for change scene and i can’t make lime work either. Imo do it without start button , load your map in your first screen. At least you will check your map. Hopefully they will fix it soon.
