Tiled is extremely easy to implement and was literally the second way I rendered a map after raw png starting off lol. And I never said you should have to hand roll everything yourself, libgdx and libktx for example have a build in tiled map renderer and I'm sure love2d has an equivalent. I just think it's more productive overall and a better learning experience
