✨ Key Features

🎨 Multi-Tileset System

Load unlimited PNG tilesets dynamically. Each tileset stays independent, add new assets anytime without breaking existing maps. Drag-and-drop upload with automatic grid detection, per-tileset category tabs, and auto-fit zoom.

📐 Multi-Tile Drag Selection

Click and drag in the tile palette to select rectangular regions. Large sprites spanning multiple tiles (skeletons, buildings, trees) get placed as a single stamp operation. The palette preserves the original spritesheet layout so everything stays perfectly aligned.

✏️ Pixel-Level Eraser

Click any placed tile to open a 10× zoom pixel editor. Erase unwanted pixels from tile edges, restore originals with one click. Adjustable brush sizes (1px, 2px, 4px, 8px). Custom-edited tiles are automatically saved in your export, no extra files needed.

🎮 Built-in Test Walkthrough

Instantly playtest your map with WASD movement, fog of war, collision detection, random monster encounters, and chest spawns. See your creation come alive before exporting, including sprite rendering and real-time exploration stats.

📚 5-Layer Architecture

Professional layer system with full control:

• Ground — base terrain tiles
• Detail — grass, cracks, decorations
• Objects — furniture, rocks, structures
• Overhead — renders ABOVE the player (tree canopies, roofs)
• Collision — wall/walkable boundaries

Each layer has independent visibility toggle and opacity control.

📦 Dual Export System

JSON Export — Version 2 format with full tileset manifest. All tilesets (including custom pixel-edited tiles) are embedded as base64. Self-contained, ready for any game engine.

SQL Export — PostgreSQL-ready INSERT statements with collision-to-wall mapping, spawn rate configuration, danger zones, and chest placement. One click to generate production database queries. (made custom database, very specific)
