May 28, 2024 · Tiling is a way of making levels out of uniformly sized reusable pieces. In this tutorial we'll be making a 1280x960 sized level of out only a 160x120 sized tile set. And then create a level out of those pieces allowing us to save memory and save time by reusing pieces.

A small sample showing how to load and render Tiled maps in your SDL2 game project.

Mar 28, 2010 · Tiling is a common method to create flexible level engines. Here you'll learn to load a tile map to place the tiles and how to interact with and show tiles. Tiling tutorial with SDL 2 is now available.
