Hi,

Im trying to rewrite a simple demo 2D game for my class in Unity’s new 2D mode.

Is there a pre made way to do a tile map or do need to create my own script and object?

Thanks

There is no TileMap per se, because not every 2D game is tilebased

The 2D Learning Modules explains the recommended approach, but you can roll your own any time of course:

The project is available here:

You may also want to have a look at this series for some concepts, even if it doesn’t use the new Unity 2D:

Like you I was looking for a tile map library for Unity, since I couldn’t find a good (free) one I started my own called UnityTileMap. If you’re interested in learning how to do tile maps in a good way I’d suggest that you write your own. But if you want focus on the more fun parts of the game I’d suggest that you save time and use code that someone else have already made and tested.
