Godot TileMap (4.7 TileMapLayer)

Author tile-based levels with TileMapLayer + TileSet, add per-tile collision and
custom data, autotile with terrains, and manipulate cells at runtime. Targets
Godot 4.7, where TileMapLayer replaces the now-deprecated TileMap node.

When to use

Use when designing 2D levels from a tile grid, configuring a TileSet (collision,
navigation, custom data, terrains), or reading/writing tiles from code.

Use when migrating a TileMap node (single node, many layers) to multiple
TileMapLayer nodes (one layer each).

When not to use: moving the player across the tiles → godot-2d-movement; general
physics bodies/raycasts → godot-physics; procedural map generation algorithms →
procedural-gen; level design practice → level-design.
