I figured someone should start a topic...

So in my last game I created a tile map with two layers. The first was the level and contained metadata about solid objects. The second contained metadata about the tanks.

In the game I only rendered the first layer. This meant that I created invisible objects to act as walls and placed them over the background in the appropriate place. The second layer was never rendered, I simply pulled the metadata and created tanks which rendered themselves.

This all worked for the tank game but I'm curious what other people are doing? For instance, I see you can pull a tile's image from Tiled. So perhaps I could have made each tile in the background layer an object and passed it its sprite... are people doing this?

I'm curious to hear about other approaches!

hi!
For my game i follow your idea i think that is simplest approach to the problem
