Tilemap 2D
The TileMap class is responsible for loading a .tmx file, which contains the information about the tileset and the map made of these tiles. It uses the pytmx library to load the .tmx file and render the tiles onto a surface. It also supports animated tiles. The make_map() method returns the rendered map surface and a list of animated tiles with their position and frames.
Camera
The Camera class represents the viewable area of the game world. It takes a target position as input and sets its own position accordingly. The target is usually the player’s position, and the camera follows the player around the game world. The look_at() method calculates the position of the camera based on the target position, and the apply() method returns the position of a rectangle in the camera view.
