MetaTileGenerator

MetaTileGenerator is a tool to help with the creation of meta tiles from standard tiles. Meta tiles are a technique when creating a videogame tileset that allows you to draw a small set of tiles (6) where two materials meet (such as grass and dirt). in a specific pattern. Those tiles can then be divided and turned into 48 configurations.
