What is LDtk?

LDtk is an open-source level design software specifically made for 2D games. It allows developers and designers to create levels using tilesets and tilemaps, which can then be exported to common game engines and frameworks.

Some key features of LDtk include:

• A visual editor to create levels as tilemaps, with support for multiple layers
• Hierarchical level structure so you can easily organize levels into worlds
• Auto-tiling for quickly filling areas with predefined tile patterns
• Entities system to add game objects like enemies, items, etc.
