You might find this article interesting. On how to actually do it, you should Google a bit more, search the forum and learn as much as you can on programming itself. ;)

Tiled can be used to make a platformer map as well..  You could use the object layer to put in basic object detection (like floors and walls) but as others mention elsewhere, use dynamic entities for anything a player can interact with (items or blocks to hit, etc).

I think "object layer" refers to a layer in Tiled, which is a tile map editor. An "entity" is just an object in your game/map, but since there can be static entities, like a fixed door, there can also by dynamic entities, ones that can move around, like a player or an enemy.

Sorry, yes an object layer is a type of layer in the map when using Tiled.  Should have been more clear on that.
