Hello coders,
just wanted to know which are the map editors that can be easily integrated in SGDK (importing the data in the code) and that can be used to draw maps on two layers, with indexed colors (transparency not given by the alpha channel), etc...

Myself, even if i don't use it much i would recommend Tiled as it's a nice software to draw map and has many features as including scripting to build custom export format. Right now SGDK still lacks of a good map management system, this is my next big feature i want to add, and i will probably directly add support to TMX format (which is the standard Tiled export format) to handle that MAP stuff.
