This tile engine is very easy-to-use and almost fully customize-able. It takes advantage of SFML for event handling and rendering while supporting the importing of TMX style maps from the Tiled Map Editor.

This tile engine is still in early development.

If you wish to compile this engine right now, you need to download SFML 2.0 (if you don't have it already) and extract it somewhere. Then when you open the solution for SfTileEngine, you need to change the properties to tell Visual Studio where SFML 2.0 is. Instructions for doing so can be found on SFML's website.

The current compilation demonstrates a single feature of the Smart Camera feature. If you wish to play around with the engine and test other things you can easily figure it out by reading the provided comments in main.cpp and also throughout the engine. I will not waste my time creating tutorials right now as everything is subject to change. :)
