Tiled support for Zircon [Experimental]

This is an experimental module for adding support for Tiled to Zircon.

How to Run

You'll need this fork of Zircon for this to work.

1. Download Tiled.
2. Create a map in Tiled. Don't check Embed in map when creating your tileset.
3. Choose File > Export as... and save your map as a Tiled JSON file.
4. Run org.hexworks.zirconx.examples.GameKt.main and pass in the absolute path to your JSON file as the first argument.

Supported

• Basic tile layers
• Multiple tile layers

Limitations

• Most things that Tiled supports are unsupported.
• Embedded tilesets
• Layers with a type other than Tile layer
• All layer properties, including visibility, opacity, tint, and offset
• Most tileset properties, except grid height/width
• Tile collisions
• Tile/tileset/map metadata

Other TODOs

• Switch over to kotlinx.serialization. This depends on being able to switch all of Tiled's outputs to JSON, which I think we can do. Switched over to naive Jackson object deserialization, which should be easy to replicate in JS implementations.
• Support object layers. See #1.
• Support tile collision data.
• Implement the Right Way to handle asset loading instead of just loading files.
