Tiled v0.18.2.0 (Pandora Application Port)

Tiled is a general purpose tile map editor. It is meant to be used for editing maps of any tile-based game, be it an RPG, a platformer or a Breakout clone. The program is very flexible, for example there are no restrictions on map size, tile size or the number of layers or tiles. Also, it allows arbitrary properties to be set on the map, its layers, the tiles or on the objects. The homepage of the program itself is located here. Its map format (TMX) is relatively easy to understand and allows a map to use multiple tilesets while also allowing each tileset to grow or shrink as necessary later. Ported to Pandora by Canseco.

Changes:

– Latest stable release. Compiled with QT 5.8.0 from latest beta Codeblocks PND.
– Updated sources and libs.
