bevysimpletilemap
Refreshingly simple tilemap implementation for Bevy Engine.
Why another tilemap?
The main reason I started this was because I felt the existing tilemap implementations for Bevy were needlessly complicated to use when all you want to do is to as quickly and simply as possible render a grid of tiles to the screen, often exposing internal implementation details such as chunks to the user.
Goals:
- Allow the user to render a grid of rectangular tiles to the screen
- Make this as simple and intuitive as possible
Non-goals:
- Supporting every imaginable shape of tile
- 3D tilemaps
- Assisting with non-rendering-related game-logic
How to use:
Spawning:
```rust
fn setup(
assetserver: Res,
mut commands: Commands,
mut textureatlases: ResMut>,
) {
// Load tilesheet texture and make a texture atlas from it
let texturehandle = assetserver.load("textures/tilesheet.png");
let textureatlas = TextureAtlas::fromgrid(texturehandle, Vec2::new(16.0, 16.0), 4, 1);
let textureatlashandle = textureatlases.add(texture_atlas);
// Set up tilemap
let tilemap_bundle = TileMapBundle {
texture_atlas: texture_atlas_handle.clone(),
..Default::default()
};
// Spawn tilemap
commands.spawn_bundle(tilemap_bundle);
}
```
Updating (or inserting) tiles:
```rust
// List to store set tile operations
let mut tiles: Vec<(IVec3, Option)> = Vec::new();
tiles.push((IVec3::new(0, 0, 0), Some(Tile { spriteindex: 0, color: Color::WHITE })));
tiles.push((IVec3::new(1, 0, 0), Some(Tile { spriteindex: 1, color: Color::WHITE })));
// Perform tile update
tilemap.set_tiles(tiles);
```
