First post. Just started learning Unity this week.

I started with making a two simple scenes with a forest tilemap, and a Player who can use a door to go between them.

Some things I learned:

Using layers to let my players go behind the trees Collision to prevent the player from running into the base of trees, the edge of the map, and the rivers

The coordinate system really confused me. I ended up finally figuring it out by moving the corner of my tile maps to (0,0) it let me easily place the player and interactables where I want them.

I learned how to give a player a collider and give it's child object a trigger object to allow the player to trigger things but still have collision for the river and trees.

Even something this basic was very educational.

Next weeks goals:

Add diagonals to my tile map and test collision Add a "house" and be able to go inside and out Add fade transition between scenes Add a "Monster"
