What technique for tile-based 2D game
Hello, I plan to do 2D game with procedurally generated worlds using tiles and I don't know what method to use. Let me explain...
I want tiles that will:
Be easily created and manipulated, having low performance cost (excluding initial world generation, that will be more or less performance-hungry anyways)
Be able to fully use scripts (use variables, functions etc.)
Have independent variables/functions from other tiles
Be able to change sprites using scripts
Be able to be part of chunks (using arrays?) in the world to be easily serializable (saved/loaded) and otherwise mass manipulated
Now comes the methods. As far as i know, i have 3 options: Tilemap, Mesh and using old, classic Objects.
Regarding tilemap, as far as i know, you can only add sprites and colliders and that they are hard to manipulate.
Meshes might be the best solution, if i understand it correctly you can have different variables for different mesh.
Objects are probably very inneficent as far as i know. Don't know otherwise.
Anyways tell me your thoughts and correct me on anything, oh and please don't just write use this method. Explain it to me, the pros/cons, etc. Thank you.
