JSTileMap(.tmx) vs Xcode SKTileMapNode


Can someone tell us which one is the better choice and list some pro/cons?

For games -> .tmx?

for other reasons -> SKTileMapNode?


Solution

  • If you see the JSTileMap ReadMe page on GitHub it recommends to use SKTilemapNode. This is a clear indication of a direction to follow.

    JSTileMap is written in Objective-C and seems like no intention to port to Swift exists, that would be enough of a reason to choose SKTilemapNode.
