## What is `level`? ## What is `level`?
`level` is a tool for reskit that converts [Tiled Map Editor](https://www.mapeditor.org/) tilesets and maps to a binary format accessible to C or assembly language engines. It distinguishes itself from other available homebrew tools by offering support for Tiled's native tmx/tsx XML formats, and user-specified entity-component system definitions. `level` is a tool for reskit that converts [Tiled Map Editor](https://www.mapeditor.org/) tilesets and maps to a binary format accessible to C or assembly language engines.

## Tilesets and Maps
To convert a Tiled map and tileset:
```
reskit level -i map.tmx -c mapping.toml
```
Reskit will compile and output a .lvl file which you can then bundle into your game project. (More information on .lvl format TBD)
## Entity-Component System ## Entity-Component System
Reskit assumes a best-practice entity-component engine design and the objects defined in your .tmx file effectively serve as the entities. Reskit assumes a best-practice entity-component engine design and the objects defined in your .tmx file effectively serve as the entities.
