ios - Load a .tmx (Tiled Map) in Sprite Kit?

Question

Is there a (preferably easy) way to load a .tmx file in iOS 7's Sprite Kit? If not, are there any alternatives?

Answer 1

you should use JSTileMap that is designed to work with Sprite Kit

• add JSTileMap files to your project
• add libz.dylib to the linked frameworks and libraries section of your project
• import JSTileMap.h

and load a map with:

JSTileMap *tiledMap = [JSTileMap mapNamed:@"mapFileName.tmx"];
if (tiledMap) [mySKNode addChild:tiledMap];

Good Luck!!
