• Grid Framework version 1.3.4 released

    This is a small update, it adds the ability to offset the origin of the grid. It also adds a chapter to the manual about extending Grid Framework with your own code. There is nothing in there experienced .NET user wouldn't know, but I figure some user might not know about extension methods and might do things in a hacky way, so I added the chapter to it, along with example code.

  • Grid Framework version 1.3.3 released

    Grid Framework version 1.3.3 has been approved by the Asset Store team. This update addresses a bug introduced in version 1.3.2 where values of colour vectors (such as axisColor) and bool vectors were not persistent. Now they will stick again. I also broke the examples for the sliding puzzle and movement with obstacles, which are now fixed. Based upon a customer's question I also built a snake game example; it's mostly an extension of the grid-based movement but with several snake segments following each other.

  • Grid Framework version 1.3.2 released

    Version 1.3.2 of Grid Framework has been approved by the Asset Store Team. The biggest news is the addition of new coordinate systems for hexagonal grids. You have cubic coordinates, rhombic coordinates and the old odd herringbone coordinates now. Even herringbone and barycentric coordinates will be added at some point in the future for the sake of completion, but they are no priority.

  • Grid Framework version 1.3.0 released

    Grid Framework version 1.3.0 has been approved by the Asset Store team. The biggest features of this release is the addition of polar grids. Check out the updated included examples to see them right in action. Notice how in the lights-out example the coordinates wrap around, meaning that once you've exceeded the maximum angle it start from the beginning again without you having to worry about anything.

  • Version 1.3.0 submitted

    A quick heads-up, version 1.3.0 has finally been submitted to the Asset Store. Remember, the price will go up to 25$, so if you still want it for 20$ now is the time to buy.

  • Grid Framework version 1.2.3 released

    This update brings you two new features, both were suggested by customers. The first one is the ability to set a separate set of colours for rendering instead of using the same colours as for drawing. Let's say you want a barely visible grid in the game but a clearly visible grid in the editor. Until now you either had had to have two grids or use a script to change the colours once the game starts. Both options worked fine but required more work than needed, now you can do it out of the box. Of course it is entirely optional, so if you don't set anything you will be using the same colours for rendering and drawing.
