coding in game tiles

Let me start of by saying that I am new to unity and a novice to coding in general.

My question I have is if there is a way to make a script that would generate tiles to form a game board that formed a design?

As an example lets say I am using two color tiles (yellow and white) and i want to generate a game board that is 10 by 10 tiles that is a white background with a yellow star design in the middle.

Looking for a nudge the right direction to figure out if/how to code something like that.

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

For something like that you would probably want a position to create tiles, and a tile to create. Instantiate the tile, and then move the "position to create tiles" forward. If it reaches the end, move it down by the y axis and back to the start on x axis. Repeat this until it fills all the tiles with something like a for loop.
