   When doing tmx map, we choose tile size for the map.
   In template example Level 1 or level 4 with tileset tmx_tiles.png tile size selected is 32x32.
   But I also noticed that actually sprites in tileset are in 34x34 pixels instead of 32x32.

   1. Why is this made in 34x34 instead of 32x32?
   2. How to do graphics of tileset in an easy way, since I noticed there is 1 pixel from each side added (top, bottom, left, right) and corner pixels are in white color. This makes graphics much harder to make than I thought?
   3. Is there some simpler solution how to solve this?

   Thanks and Regards

   The sprites in the spritesheet all have 2 pixel margin and spacing when the sheet is created. Then the border of the sprites is copied into that margin and spacing using the sprite_artifact_fixer.ph (in the tools directory). This is done to prevent texture artifacts, like bleeding. Use a tool like zwoptex to create your own spritesheets this way. Also read the programming guide regarding tile maps (link).
