I had the same issue. My problem was that I had a wrong if statement. (Note: I have a width of 5 instead of 4 in Kenneth's example)

I had:

if x < 6:
    line_end=""
    #blabla more here
else:
    line_end="\n"
    #blabla more here

But the coordinates are zero based. So x < 6 is always the case cause the highest it will ever go is 5. This means that the new line character is never added so everything turns into one solid line of tiles.

So if I change it to:

if x < 5:
    line_end=""
    #blabla more here
else:
    line_end="\n"
    #blabla more here

My row turns into a 5x5 grid.
