2d Top Down Map Generator

Unity Engine
1

Hi there,

So i got this idea to build a game. (best point to start i know ^^)
I´m very new to programming but my whole life i was interrested in building games. I started 3d Modeling at the age of 11 ( I´m 20 btw), modding (especially TES : Morrowind and some other games) at the age of 14, and i consider my self as a person with good learning skills.

The whole point of me asking here is because i want to learn how to program a simple Top-Down sprite map generator. I know some of u don´t have that much time, so i cut this one short. Here are my questions.

Do u have a good link to an understandable tutorial, wich covers this topic?
Or any other reference?
Does somebody has something like that in the asset Store? (i didn´t find an asset. I think manly because i dont know the right words to search :confused: )
Do u have any tips for me?
Did u do something familiar? (and if, do u mind sharing your code for teaching reasons?)

I thank u for reading.

Please excuse my poor english.
Greetings from Germany.

Eddie.

What do you mean exactly by sprite map generator? Maybe something like this? That uses SpriteTile, which has an API for placing tiles at runtime, which you can use to generate maps. The example above is pretty simplistic, but you can do whatever sort of map generation you can come up with.

thats exactly what im talking about.
but I would rather spend the 30 bucks on something to learn instead of an exsisting program that i dont use if im going to program this by my self.
Do u have any good inormation on how to learn this?

Nothing specific…just learn to program in general first, then you can figure out different ways of generating maps.
