So I’m trying to make a game using Python which uses a tilemap, the thing is, I want to create a tilemap with 8x8 tiles.
When I try to code in the 8x8 tilemap using the Tile Utils extension, it instead uses a tilemap with 16x16 tiles rather than 8x8 tiles.
Here’s an example project with the code:
> **[Tile Utils disobey Python](https://arcade.makecode.com/59412-04861-00588-01801)**
>
> Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.
If someone could help me out that would be great.

Yeah, looks like you’ll have to make the small tilemap in blocks and then convert to python. You could use the actual tilemap API but then you would have to manually program in the tilemap and that’s very annoying.

Yeah that’s good and all but I don’t want to use the help of other languages.
I also don’t want to use the API either.

I mean maybe @richard has a fix for this but I couldn’t get anything to work myself.
