Chapter 6: Continuing the 2D Adventure
In the previous chapter, we started work on a 2D adventure game. On reaching this point, we've now created a controllable character that can navigate a level using 2D physics.
Sprite shaping allows you to create freeform 2D environments in the Editor. Dynamic and exciting environments that would otherwise require custom sprite work can instead be generated from within the Editor by tiling sprites along spline paths. We'll go step by step through how to install the Sprite Shape Unity package, create custom shape profiles, and create several platforms to form a level for our 2D adventure game.
Up to this point, our levels have been relatively static. The only moving element (apart from particles) is that of the player. In this chapter, we'll fix that by adding moving platforms that the player can jump on. By implementing platforms in this game, you'll be able to do the same in any future game you develop, whether...
