Grass Spots

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-02-28

Overview

This file (grass_spots.lua) defines a static layout in Tiled Map Editor format (JSON-compatible Lua table), not an ECS component. It specifies a 24x24 grid of tiles used for rendering background grass terrain in world generation. It contains no code logic, entity behavior, or runtime functionality — it serves purely as static map data consumed by the world generation system. As such, it does not interact with the Entity Component System and has no runtime component instances, properties, or methods.

Usage example

This file is not used directly in gameplay code. It is referenced by the world generation system when populating map areas with specific terrain layouts. Example usage is internal to the engine:

-- Internally, static layouts like this are loaded and processed by map generation systems (e.g., worldgen.lua)
-- as part of room placement and terrain setup. No direct Lua code is expected to call this file.

This file is a static data definition and does not interact with components, tags, or ECS structures.

Properties

This file does not define a component and thus has no component properties. It is a table of static map properties, documented as follows:

Field	Type	Value	Description
version	string	"1.1"	Tiled file format version
luaversion	string	"5.1"	Lua version targeted for serialization
orientation	string	"orthogonal"	Tile orientation mode
width	integer	24	Map width in tiles
height	integer	24	Map height in tiles
tilewidth	integer	16	Width of each tile in pixels (grid coordinate system)
tileheight	integer	16	Height of each tile in pixels (grid coordinate system)
properties	table	{}	Global properties (empty)
tilesets	array	[ { ... } ]	List of tileset references (contains one entry)
layers	array	{ BG_TILES, FG_OBJECTS }	List of map layers (background tiles + foreground objects)

The BG_TILES layer contains a linearized 576-element (24 * 24) array of tile IDs. Non-zero values correspond to tile IDs in the referenced tileset (tiles.png). For example:

• Tile ID 5 and 6 appear at specific grid positions, forming repeating grass textures.
• Tile ID 0 indicates no tile (empty space).
