Scriptable Tile example

The RoadTile example provides the ability to easily layout linear segments onto the TilemapA GameObject that allows you to quickly create 2D levels using tiles and a grid overlay. More info
See in Glossary, such as roads or pipes, with a minimal set of spritesA 2D graphic objects. If you are used to working in 3D, Sprites are essentially just standard textures but there are special techniques for combining and managing sprite textures for efficiency and convenience during development. More info
See in Glossary. The following is a script used to create the Tile.
