Overview

PrimeTile is a collection of tools for making tile-based 2D and Top-Down games.

-- Primary Features:

---- Flow Field: All-To-One pathing across a map. Calculated with Jobs and Burst for high performance. A set of FlowFields can be used together to allow agents to go anywhere without calculating paths.

---- RayCast: Iterates over all tiles between two given tiles. Can be used with Flow Fields to allow agents to get anywhere on a map. 

---- CircleCast: Iterates over all tiles in a circle. Casts are made extra fast by avoiding division operations.

---- Footprint: A set of tile-offsets. Allows a set of characters or objects to exist on a tile-grid while having different sizes and shapes.

---- MoveDirection: Defines 8-way movement in PrimeTile. Contains optimized methods that work with Burst vectorization.

---- MapSource: A map source can find the walkable / unwalkable areas on your map. There are 3 types: Layout, Texture, TopDownPhysics.

-- Contains 9 demos, 6 of which implemet FlowFields for pathfinding:

---- No Collision: Simplest implementation

---- Footprint: Agents exist on a tile grid (like chess) but they can be one of a variety of shapes or sizes

---- Boids: Agents use flocking mechanics

---- TopDown Physics: Agents use Unity Physics and forces to move around

---- TileMap: Uses Unity2D-TileMaps to generate Flow Fields

---- Platformer: Uses 2D XY set-up instead of the standard top-down XZ

-- Contains 4 other demos, showing use of other bits and pieces of PrimeTile
