MBTileParser is a cocos2d-iphone compatible game engine written using pure UIKit.

Look Ma, no low-level code!

MBTileParser began as a small library that allows you to parse TMX files and then display them using pure UIKit. (You don't need to learn OpenGL and you don't have to use a game engine. ) Now, MBTileParser is more of a game engine, in that it supports loading TMX files, cocos2d spritesheets created with TexturePacker, and more.

Some Miscellaneous Details

• Loaded sprites can be displayed onscreen.
• Movable sprites support movement with completion blocks.
• A delegate protocol allows sprites to check if they're allowed to move to a given location.
• Completion blocks fire even if movement fails.
• Extensible controls allow for things like movement of characters onscreen

A word on the TMX format

The TMX file format is used by Tiled, a tool which helps you make world maps for games. (You can download Tiled here. The TMX format is explained in detail on the tiled GitHub repository wiki.

License

You may use MBTileParser in games distributed/sold on the App Store. Otherwise, you may not resell the engine itself, either alone or as part of a larger library. Attribution somewhere in final products is required. Be nice.

Have fun, because game engines are.
