You can achieve this by setting a property on the tile (or the map
cell, but it's more consistent to do it on the tile) in the XML file
which says the tile is impassable. For example your XML could have:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<resource>
<tileset>
<tile id="ground-cobble">
<image ref="i-ground-cobble" /></tile>
<tile id="water">
<property name="impassable" type="bool" value="True" />
<image ref="i-water" /></tile>
</tileset>
</resource>
Then you may:
ground_map = cocos.tiles.load('map_filename.xml')['map_id']
current_cell = (1, 1)
if ground_map.get('impassable'):
# block movement
else:
# allow movement
I've added some more docs to the tiles module to explain this better.
