0.6a: Tileset Render Mode

I was struck yesterday with an idea to improve the maps the app creates by applying a tileset. So, as I often do when a dumb idea hits me, I devoted my free time of the last two days to making it happen.

Thanks to Szadiart for creating the tileset I used as my base, you can find it here: https://szadiart.itch.io/rogue-fantasy-castle

It's not perfect, and the aesthetics won't work for every map, but I've hopefully laid the groundwork to support multiple different tilesets in the future. It's a cool thing, and it can produce some pretty good looking results.

Here's a battle royale map I ran some players through last week with the new tile render mode:

To edit using the Tile Mode simple click "Tile Map" from the map editor, to switch back click "Default Map". If you'd like to export the image, be sure the check "Tile Render" in the export options.
