A lot of people asked about making 2D maps and how to use different types of tiles like water vs dirt. For this lesson I created a couple of simple images to use for tile maps. This asset will be sort of abstract data, and can be “skinned” with specific tiles at a later point.

As we need to find all possible tiles a unit can move to, A* quickly bogs down because it is designed to find a single path from point A to B as quickly as it can, but finding a path from A to B-Z is a lot of individual paths. We’ll add this to the same script as the Dirs enum. The breadcrumbs mentioned earlier.
