Chessy 3
Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-02-28
Overview
chessy_3.lua is a static layout definition for a room used in the game's world generation system. It is a 16x16 grid-based layout with tile data (background layer) and object placements (foreground objects). The room uses custom tileset tiles.png and includes placeholder objects (e.g., rook, skeleton, backpack, spoiled_food, bandage) identified by type in an object group. Static layouts like this are typically consumed by the worldgen system to instantiate map rooms procedurally, not used as runtime components attached to entities.
Usage example
Static layouts are not instantiated at runtime like components. They are referenced by map generation code. A typical workflow inside world generation would look like this:
-- Example pseudo-code (not from this file)
local room = require("map/static_layouts/chessy_3")
worldgen:AddRoom(room, x, y)
This file returns a Tiled format table with tile data and object placements; no component is instantiated from it directly.
Dependencies & tags
Components used: None — this file is a data-only layout definition and does not interact with any components or add tags. Tags: None identified.
Properties
The file returns a single table with predefined properties. These are static configuration values, not runtime entity properties.
| Property | Type | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
version | string | "1.1" | Tiled file format version. |
luaversion | string | "5.1" | Lua version targeted by the data encoding. |
orientation | string | "orthogonal" | Map orientation type. |
width | number | 16 | Map width in tiles. |
height | number | 16 | Map height in tiles. |
tilewidth | number | 16 | Width of each tile in pixels (note: actual tileset uses 64x64 tiles, but this is the logical grid unit). |
tileheight | number | 16 | Height of each tile in pixels (logical grid unit). |
properties | table | {} | Optional room-level metadata (empty in this case). |
tilesets | table | (see source) | List of tilesets used; contains one entry referencing tiles.png. |
layers | table | (see source) | List of layers: BG_TILES (tile layer) and FG_OBJECTS (object group). |
Main functions
This file has no functions. It is a pure data definition that returns a single Lua table. All logic and interpretation are performed by the consuming world generation system.
Events & listeners
None — this file does not define or interact with any events.
