How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the Map Width and Height in tile units and the Tile Size in pixels.
- Enter the number of Tile Layers (ground, objects, overlay, etc.).
- Enter the Bits Per Tile Index (8 for 256 tiles, 16 for 65K tiles).
- Review Total Tile Instances, Pixel Width, and Pixel Height to verify the map dimensions.
- Check Map Data Size and Total Memory in KB to ensure the map fits within memory budgets.
How the result changes with Width (tiles)
| Width (tiles) | Total Tile Instances |
|---|---|
| 1,001 | 300,300 |
| 3,501 | 1,050,300 |
| 6,500 | 1,950,000 |
| 9,000 | 2,700,000 |
What each input means
- Width (tiles)
- Map width in tile units.
- Height (tiles)
- Map height in tile units.
- Tile Size
- Width and height of each tile in pixels.
- Tile Layers
- Number of tile layers (ground, objects, overlay, etc.).
- Bits per Tile Index
