onpon4 {l Wrote}:Tiled is fantastic, but there's one fatal flaw, for me: the developer of Tiled won't stop changing the TMX format. Changes come in so often that it's just not something I can keep up with.
onpon4 {l Wrote}:Not compatibility breakage, but just the fact that there's now tons of features in Tiled that I (and any contributors) have to remember to ignore, because I just don't have the time to implement all those features into the game, or into the library I developed that loads TMX files into the game (xsge_tmx).
Just an example, the last time I had time to update either python-tmx or xsge_tmx (the former parses the TMX format itself, the latter translates it into the game), there was no such thing as embedded groups, so if someone were to try to do that, my program would have no idea what to do with it. And that's just a recent example; I don't even remember where the unusable features begin, and there's tons of them at this point.
