Bought from itch not easy to get it to run - Bollehopp - 09-11-2021

Hi!
Thanks for your support :-)
Tilengine is not a software you directly run, but instead a programming library that you use to build your own games.
Both GitHub project page and the online documentation have detailed documentation about how to install, build the provided samples and run them. These samples are provided as demonstrations of its usage and features:

argh! ehm I checked your link and still find the process highly confusing ..
(not any programmer you see really)

Oh I understand, I think you purchased Tilengine with a misconception of what it is. If you're not a programmer, it is of not use for you  Cry
You may ask itch.io for a refund, they still hold the money. When they will ask me permission to proceed with the refund for you, I'll authorise it:
