Sorry, the docstring seems to have gotten a little out of date in places. I've 
checked in a fixed version.

The example in test/test_tiles.py works, and has a valid (though simple) map & 
tileset XML you could look to for examples.

This is due to the above documentation error. The correct method of 
referencing the tile image is with:

   <cell tile="name">

The correct tag name is "requires". Again sorry for the documentation error 
there.

Another more complex example of using the tile engine may be found at
