Platformer Tutorial - Error on Part 2: "level area01 not found"

[mre...@gmail.com]

I'm going through http://melonjs.github.io/tutorial-platformer/ . I got to the end of Part 2 > "try it out", and both locally (running the local install using "grunt serve") as well as on a server, I'm getting stuck at the "melon JS" loading screen, and I'm getting a console error of "level area01 not found".

My tutorial game is at https://mrengy.github.io/pesky-squirrels/boilerplate-master/index.html , and the code is all viewable at https://github.com/mrengy/pesky-squirrels/tree/gh-pages/boilerplate-master .

I googled this error, and I found https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/melonjs/i4Cbr5R4L0U , so I tried moving the area01.tmx file into the same directory as area01_level_tiles.png , but that had no effect for me.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

P.S. I'm on Mac OS 10.11.3 (15D21), melonJS version 3.1.0, Chrome Version 54.0.2840.98 (64-bit)

The TMX file should be in your ./data/map/ directory. The Grunt task for building the resources.js file checks only this specific location for maps: https://github.com/mrengy/pesky-squirrels/blob/gh-pages/boilerplate-master/Gruntfile.js#L142-L143

Also, whoever is involved in updating the tutorial at http://melonjs.github.io/tutorial-platformer/ , you might want to clearly indicate the importance of placing the .tmx file in this directory. What the tutorial currently says is: 

To finish, let's save our new map as "area01" under the "data" folder. We are done with the first step!

Thanks for the suggestion! Will do.
