+title: JavaScript/HTML5 tile editor
+desc: A rough tile editor for a top-down, 2D, tile-based browser game project.
+---
+I built this 2D tile editor using an HTML 5 canvas and vanilla JS in a few days, as I wanted to create a bespoke editor for my tile game rather than relying on the open-source variants. The reason for this was that I was using my own file format for level files.
