The README presents Tiled as a general purpose tile map editor for tile-based games.

Source: https://github.com/mapeditor/tiled

What it supplies: The README presents Tiled as a general purpose tile map editor for tile-based games.

Useful for: - Build tile maps of any size with many layers and tilesets.
- Attach arbitrary properties to maps, layers, tiles and objects.
- Store maps in the TMX format.

First action: - Download from GitHub Releases or itch.io, or use the AppImage, Flatpak or snap on Linux.
- To build from source, install Qt 6.2 or later and Qbs.

Prerequisites and limits: For compiling the README requires Qt 6.2 or later development libraries and the Qbs build tool; the Python plugin needs Python 3 development libraries. Prebuilt downloads have no stated requirements.

- Linux distribution packages are often out of date, per the README.
- The README says little about using the editor; the manual was not read.

The README text states no licence, so check the repository licence file. macOS and Windows builds are signed as the README describes.

Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was installed or run.
Based on README text only; the manual, releases and code were not read. Nothing was installed or run.
