Hi, im planing to do a breakout clon game.

So when i collide with a tile on a tilelayer, is it possible to get it's position back so i can delete this tile?

The onCollision callback from tile layers will give you the x and y tile indices of the tile that was hit. It's the 3rd or 4th parameter (depending on if the tile layer is the collider or collidee), labeled as %srcref and %dstref in the docs.

So, you could do something like this:

function t2dTileLayer::onCollision(%srcObject, %dstObject, %srcRef, %dstRef, %time, %normal, %contacts, %points)
{
   %srcObject.clearTile(%srcRef);
}
