## What it is
A tilemap rendering plugin for the Bevy game engine that represents each tile as its own ECS entity. It renders tilemaps efficiently using chunked meshes with support for isometric, hexagonal, and square maps, GPU animations, and Tiled/LDTK integration.

## Use cases
- render tilemaps in a bevy game
- build isometric or hexagonal maps in rust
- make tiles individually editable as entities
- load maps from Tiled or LDtk editors
- animate tiles on the gpu
- create infinite or chunked tilemaps

## When to choose
- you use Bevy and want an ECS-idiomatic tilemap with per-tile entities
- you need fast chunked rendering, layers, or GPU animations
- you need isometric or hexagonal map support with editor integration

## When to avoid
- you are not using the Bevy engine
- you need a full game engine or map editor rather than a rendering plugin
- you need a tilemap solution for a non-Rust engine like Unity or Godot
