Okay, I'll test out sprite batches then. Can you be more specific on the types of problems existing objects cause? Maps don't share any data and are self contained so objects from other maps shouldn't interfere with one another. You can create your own layers by altering the map's draw_list. If obje...

Are you going to add sprite-batch? Also can you use a sane class system? A map can consist of multiple tilesets with differing tile size on the same layer so I don't think sprite batch will work. The reason I didn't add a class system is because I never really saw the great need for one the way lua...

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks

Great job, but what about a function to forget all cached data? I'm thinking specifically for resource management I don't want to have every resource loaded in memory as the game goes on. I'd like them deleted between scenes but shared between objects in the scene. I know it's as simple as slapping ...

Sounds good. Yeah admittedly I've been really bad about choosing names for this project. I have a really good convention for other languages but it doesn't really carry over to Lua very well.

Also it would be really awesome if you used this in your tutorial.

Update! First of all I realize that in practice typing out map.tilelayers and map.objectlayers is just too long. So I have shortened "map.tilelayers" and "map.objectlayers" to "map.tl" and "map.ol" respectively. I'm usually against shortening variable names in...

That is really nice but could we see a demo with maybe a spirte/player on the map/tiled Ok. This shouldn't been too hard on orthogonal maps but on isometric maps it can be kind of tricky at the moment. This is quite awesome!. One minor thing: I expected the mouse wheel to work the opposite way. Who...

I am no longer maintaining this library. See my response on page 25: I feel like I should address this myself. I probably won't be updating ATL in it's current state. ATL was my first major coding project and even though I dedicated many, many hours to it and learned a lot it I've never been happy w...

Thanks for the efforts on this. I'm interested in your zip lib, but I'm even more interested in your tiled-loading lib :) I only created the base64 decoder. A really hokey one. The gzip stuff was done by this fine dude: https://github.com/davidm/lua-compress-deflatelua For base64 encoding and decod...

Hey, good news guys and gals. I found a sneaky bug in my base64 decoder that was causing most of the problems. I got gzip functionality working soon after. I contacted the author of the deflate script and he was kind enough to implement support for zlib headers after I asked about them. So I current...
