How do I get started with Tiny 2D?

Hello @mrpmorris,
Currently we have the 2D Entities Starter, being our template project, and our two demos, TinyGems and TinySpaceship, being our demo projects to showcase how one could structure DOTS code to create a game. We do not have any walk-through, but we do have some code examples in the 2D Entities package documentation.

At a high level, creating a Tiny application is very similar to creating any kind of application. You begin by deciding on what you would like to create, and then break the application down into bite size chunks of work.

If we look at TinySpaceship, and its systems, it is very much structured that way. We set out to create an astroids like game. We knew we needed some basic systems, such as

• Moving the player on screen
• Shooting missiles
• Spawning asteroids

Once we had created those systems, we gave ourselves new tasks that we had to create in order to complete the game.

My advice would be to work in a similar fashion. Figure out what you would like to create, break it down into small tasks, figure out how to create each task, then iterate.

Best of luck, and let us know about your progress!

 

@mrpmorris did you have a look at the Getting Started section in 2D Entities package documentation?
