Introduction
Stretched City is a tiny room editor for PICO-8 games.
It can be used for other programs as well, but then you have to parse the string yourself.
The tool works in the web, but for a more smoother experience I would recommend you to use it in PICO-8.
A room is 16x16 in tile-size. It goes from row to row writing down the id of that tile. 0 represent an empty tile.
So if you want to use this in another program it should not be that difficult to parse the string.
To load your string into the map in PICO-8 use this method:
function load_room(room_str)
local room=split(room_str)
local m_x=0
local m_y=0
for i=1,#room do
mset(m_x,m_y,room[i])
if m_x < 15 then
m_x+=1
else
m_x=0
m_y+=1
end
end
end |
