2D Physics Reference Project

Checked with version: 5.6

-

Difficulty: Beginner

In this live training session we will learn a workflow for laying out a simple 2D scene using 2D sorting groups, sprite meshes and 9-Slice sprites introduced in Unity 5.6. We will use these tools to create a simple 2D game. In this episode we will introduce our goals and demonstrate our minimap system.
