I finally got my Tiled map loader to a point where it’s useful for development. In around 300 lines of code, ponytiled loads a sub-set of Tiled layers, tilesets and image collections. Built in plugin hooks and extensions make it easy to add support for many custom object types.

We are also just finishing a free “platformer” framework that shows the code in action on CoronaLab’s free SDK. This should be released in the next week or so… (Here’s a sneak peak.)

Grab the library here, and follow @ponywolf on twitter to find out when the demo (and source for the demo) will be released.

I’ve just added PonyTiled to the [Libraries and Frameworks](http://doc.mapeditor.org/reference/support-for-tmx-maps/#corona-sdk) page in the documentation. Thanks a lot for publishing your cool library!
