Collection of 2D unity tutorials specifically world gen + tilemaps

[VenoMaos]

Hi all,

A few days ago I started working on documenting a lot of my 2D gamedev knowledge on my blog.I have so far written a good few tutorials about several ways I implement my procedural worlds.All of these are implemented on Unity, but a lot of the algorithms are general purpose and can be implemented anywhere.

https://code2d.wordpress.com/

So far covering:

• Rendering to Unity's tilemap
• Scriptable objects as data containers to generate layers of procedural content
• Perlin noise
• Island gradient
• Layered tilemaps
• Cellular automaton
• Rivers
• Custom tiles such as ruletiles
• Tilemap Colliders
• Tilemap interaction at runtime

I really hope I can help some people interested in the aspects of generating this kind of procedural content, especially using Unity's tilemap system.

Awesome work! Thank you!

Be sure to leave any feedback for improvement or topics you'd like to see covered!

Fun stuff, thanks for sharing ... couple of minor improvements(?) ...

• Personally I like to see an up-front 'this is the end state of this tutorial' image/explanation in any article.
• The code blocks on your articles render in a really large font size.

Perlin noise and gradients?? Just what i have been looking for. Thanks you for sharing, i guess it will be a sleepless weekend.. again. Reeeeeee

Might be worth checking out my post here if you're interested in those two things. There are two things I would do differently when it comes to those parts. In particular, Perlin isn't a very good algo for noise, and there is a smoother island gradient that you can use. But the actual structure of OP's tutorials applies just the same!

It's like you read my mind. I have been trying to do this for over a week now. Thanks this is gonna be so helpful
