usage

import{make_json_tiled_map_from_image}from"./index.js"importfsfrom'node:fs'consttarget_image_path="./test-assets/cavesofgallet.png"consttile_width=8consttile_height=8consttiles_image_paths=["./test-assets/cavesofgallet_tiles_a.png","./test-assets/cavesofgallet_tiles_b.png",]constmap=make_json_tiled_map_from_image(target_image_path,tiles_image_paths,tile_width,tile_height)fs.writeFileSync("output.tiled.map.json",JSON.stringify(map))

If there is no tile image available

using cli

node src/cli.js reverse 8 8 target.png target.png > tilemap0.json
node src/cli.js simplify tilemap0.json > tiles.png
node src/cli.js reverse 8 8 target.png tiles.png > tilemap.json

using api

1. run make_json_tiled_map_from_image using the target image as tile image

Then, in order to reduce tile image to only used tiles

2. run make_png_of_used_tiles to produce an image of unique tiles

Then

3. run make_json_tiled_map_from_image on the initial target image, this time using the tile image produced by step 2
