Tiles

Tile maps are a grouping of tiles containing a sprite; they are primarily represented by:

  • TileMap: A structure for storing tiles and functionality for reading/modifying the map.
  • Tile: A container for a sprite and other rendering information.

In Amethyst, the Tile is a trait that must be implemented within you crate which is provided to the TileMap and RenderTiles2D. The pages in this section will explain how to add tile maps to your application.

Note: The code snippets in this section explain the parts of creating tile maps separately. For complete application examples, please refer to the tiles example in the examples directory.

Note: This section uses sprites and assumes knowledge of loading sprites and spritesheets.
