iTileMaps

A tile map editor for iOS

Previously on the App Store and unavailable now. It may return, so check back or follow it on Mastodon.

iTileMaps creates tile maps for any 2D game genre, from RPGs to side-scrollers, wherever you are on iOS. It saves the TMX format, so maps work with Tiled and need no change to your game.

Features

• TMX, the popular XML-based map format
• Orthogonal and isometric maps
• Tile rotation and flipping
• Custom objects for per-pixel precision placement
• Custom properties for tiles, layers, objects, or map
• Fill bucket, clone and recent tiles
• Export created maps directly to your game
• Import and export files in the Files app
• Reduced rendering when idle for better battery life

Limitations

• Hexagonal maps are not supported
• Only one tileset can be used per layer
• Tileset info is saved in the same file as the map (no external tilesets)
• Alpha channel transparency only (no color-key transparency)
• Tile objects are not supported
• Images cannot be embedded into the map file (external only)
• Layer data must be Base64-encoded with gzip/zlib compression
