This is still using the map tiled file provided in the Orthogonal.love file on the first post and using tiled version 0.12.0 . After rem...

At first I wasn't to sure what to do with a .love, but open it with a zip tool and look at that a bunch of source files, kinda makes me wonder if there is anyway to keep those hidden from end u...

As I do not see anything that indicates a camera, additionally it did make sense to me that translate X and translate Y did come from the players x and y coords, but if not directly fr...
