I’m trying to make a Platformer, but whenever I make the Tilemap it dosent show up and the screen stays black. The sprites and Animations load, though. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You set the tilemap to be 60x20, which is rather large – it’s showing up, the issue is just that it’s showing up offscreen! The screen is 160px by 120px, and each tile is 16px by 16px, so each screen shows 10 tiles by 7.5 tiles at a time – anything outside of that will be outside the screen.

I added two blocks to help show this (that you’ll likely end up wanting in some way in the final game anyways 🙂 )
