Tileset Arranger

If you're constantly dealing with the frustration of having to rearrange tileset contents for your game project, Tileset Arranger is the application for you. It's as simple as you can get, and it only has one particular function, but at the same time, it can really take a burden off your back. The main idea behind this application is to help the user reposition the contents of any tileset. As long as it is in PNG format, your tileset is ready for serious modifications.

While it is true that this particular program is not dedicated to all possible users, quite on the contrary, targeting a specific group of people, for that minority, retro game development will become easier. Tilesets sometimes need rearranging. Whether it is because someone wants to reduce the overall size of the file, or because one needs to alter the structure of the game and these textures together with it, it all boils down to actually needing to alter tilesets in a timely manner. It's an easy task, yet without the right tool it can be really difficult.

Understanding how this program works is more difficult than running it. The application couldn't have been easier to use. Simply have your tileset ready. Import it from the file drop-down menu, browsing for its specific location. Once loaded, set the size of one particular unit within your file, and proceed to rearranging its contents. Select any single unit, and drag it to a new position. It will instantly be rearranged. The program works flawlessly.

Tileset Arranger is an application that will help users, provided they need the functionality it offers. If you're not familiar with tilesets, what they can be used for or how to integrate them into any of your present projects, this application can't do much for you. It could at least be the starting point to actually finding out what it's all about. Aside from this, you need to have an idea about retro games, tilesets and such to unlock the potential of this program.
