Unity’s Tilemap system makes it easy to create and iterate level design cycles within Unity. It allows artists and designers to rapidly prototype when building 2D game worlds. In this tutorial, you'll create a Tilemap and explore the Tilemap system including Tilemap settings, and you'll use the Tile Palette to edit your Tilemap.

Scriptable brushes for Tilemaps supercharges the efficiency of an already easy-to-use system. With scriptable brushes, you can create tiles that automatically adjust their appearance based on where they've been placed in the level, change the way a line is placed on the grid, and even apply interactive components for the user when the application is being used. In this tutorial, you'll learn the basics of creating your own scriptable brushes.

In this tutorial, you’ll create a work with tilesets to create a full tilemap for your game. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to do the following: Explain what a tileset is. Adjust an existing tileset. Paint your game tilemap.

In addition to Square and Rectangular Tilemaps, Unity can also create Hexagonal and Isometric Tilemaps.

The Sprite Renderer is very important component to use when developing 2D projects as it determines how the given Sprite is rendered. It’s an essential component for the Tilemap system to work properly as well. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to add the Sprite Renderer to your Sprite, set various properties, and arrange Sprites to render in layers.

In addition to square and rectangular tile shapes, Unity can also create hexagonal and isometric tile maps. In this tutorial, you'll experiment with hexagonal and isometric shapes, and learn how to configure their size, swizzle, and position.

This is a video version of the written 2D Game Kit Walkthrough. In this live session with guest host Aurore Dimopoulos, we will explore the 2D Game Kit project from Unity Technologies. 2D Game Kit is designed to allow new users to explore working in Unity and making games without first learning how to code in a friendly drag and drop environment. The kit consists of a vertical slice of a 2D platformer game complete with art, sound and interactive behavior to explore.

The best way to use this document is like a reference guide, searching by component or setting you want to know more about. Use the navigation bars to find the section you need. To learn the basics of how to use the Game Kit, check the Walkthrough , which provides a good foundation on using the Kit. The Explorer example game included in this project uses all the components we provided for gameplay. To get inspiration or an example of how to use a GameObject, explore the scenes Zone 1 through 5 in the Scenes folder. Important terms and concepts are highlighted with links if you would like to find out more information about them.

For assets in a 2D project to have a physical presence in the Scene and be able to interact with each other, they must have a Collider 2D. A Collider 2D is a component that helps define an asset’s physical shape to determine how it will interact with other Colliders in a Scene. It does this via a built-in physics engine. In this tutorial, we’ll cover types of Collider 2D’s and how to apply them.
