How can I make simple 2D Collision

What's the simplest way to create 2D colliders that will stop the player? Is there a good example available?

I'm trying to make a game that involves what's basically a top-down view of a character navigating a simple maze. Currently I have inputs that move the player by adding to his position in the Translate component and I've tried all sorts of combinations of adding 2D Rigidbodies and Physicsbodies and 2D Colliders and Physics shapes and even turning on gravity and just letting my character "fall" but nothin I seem to do stops the player from just passing freely through everything.

The Spaceship example seems to be the closest I get but it only uses collision to destroy things or stop the game and never actually has anything stop anything else from moving.

Is there a simple way to create walls that a player can't go through or do I need to do something like using the hit detection to stop the player programatically?

 

I did wind up making my own 2D collision implementation based on the Spaceship Demo but with a bit more logic. One thing that really tripped me up for a long time was that one object would give very strange collision results. Sometimes only colliding with itself constantly and sometimes colliding with nothing ever, based on small changes I made but couldn't figure out any pattern.

Ultimately the problem was solved when I set the scale of the object with the collider from (.05,.05,.05) back to (1,1,1) and put its sprite renderer on a child object which I then scaled accordingly. I don't know if this was a bug or just some intended side effect that I don't understand.

 

Any updates on that ? Kinda strange to have an engine without collision response
