2D Grid-based Movement

Unity Engine
1

I’m looking for reading materials or videos on how to construct grid-based movement in Unity. I’ve been searching YouTube for answers and a lot of the content seems to be outdated or written in a slightly different language.

I’m looking for something that can teach me how to:

  1. Move a sprite inside a grid
  2. Move it in the 4 cardinal directions

Additional materials on how to do these things would be appreciated as well:
3. Move in 8 cardinal directions (Northwest, Southwest, Northeast, Southeast)
4. Be able to pathfind (within the grid)

EDIT: I decided to remove my extensive and well-thought out reply on the matter, which I made a week ago, since the OP has signed on here several times since and has not even responded with a thank you or shown any interest in discussing it.

If someone is kind enough to put in a lot of effort to help you, it’s bad form to ignore them.

Well, thanks. This might be the most useless answer Google has ever given me.

Please don’t necro threads just to complain about a search result.
