Tiled to GBDK C File export

This is a extension/export plugin for the Tiled map editor that adds the following type to the "Export As" menu:

• GBDK C file (*.c, *.h)

This save option generates a tile array from the first Tile Layer found that can be used with GBDK's background and window functions such as set_bkg_tiles or set_win_tiles.

_{* Blank tiles are defaulted to 0x00}

This extension is based on Tiled to GBA export.

Installation

This extension requires Tiled 1.4 or newer. Get the latest version here.

To add this extension to your Tiled installation:

• Open Tiled and go to Edit > Preferences > Plugins and click the "Open" button to open the extensions directory.
• Download tiled-to-gbdk-c-file-export.js in this repository and copy it to that location. The script can be placed either directly in the extensions directory or in a subdirectory.

Output

The export plugin generates a .c source file and associated .h header file.
