Using the Lua export from Tiled

Games
#1

I’m playing with Tiled and I’m wondering if there is any information about using this with Corona?

The file is basically formatted as:

[lua]return {…}[/lua]

How would you import this using Corona? Parsing the returned table is not so much trouble. How to import a file in this format is not clear to me. [import]uid: 98652 topic_id: 20531 reply_id: 320531[/import]

@soggybag what do You mean? You want to import your tiled map into the Corona Simulator is that what you want to do? [import]uid: 17058 topic_id: 20531 reply_id: 80611[/import]

A third party module called “Lime” does this for you

@sebitttas, Tiled gives you a pretty good description of your tile map in Lua. The code generated looks like this:

[lua]return {…}[/lua]

How would I go about importing this? return without a function wrapper seems a little strange to me.

@Danny, I don’t really feel up to investing in Lime at this point.

Here’s a full code listing of some Tiled Lua output.
