Adventure Map Engine

The Adventure map class is used to display an overview of all levels in the game. The levels are displayed as nodes on a tiled background. The nodes can be connected with lines to form paths for players to follow through the map.

The map contains a model, your can read about the model here.

Node Tags

A node can be tagged. It's possible to define a view for a tag. When a node has a certain tag and the node is visible, then the view will be instantiated and will be shown on the node. This feature allows you to show custom items on the map at tagged nodes.

Settings objects

The map can be configured with settings objects. There are settings for the background, nodes, items and tags.

You can read more detailed information about the settings here.
