Tilesets

Tilesets are used to render the maps, you can import tilesets with the button if you want to load the PNG as-is. You can also convert any PNG into MD Engine format with the button, for information regarding this you can check the Image Converter section.

You can add tilesets to your game by including .png files in your project's assets/tilesets folder.

Tilesets can also be loaded independently and used to manipulate the overall scene. You can load a tileset with Load Tileset event.
