Animation

Note

This feature is only available in Tessera Pro

This feature is mostly for fun!

If you add the AnimatedGenerator to a generator, you can hit Start to run the normal generation process tile-by-tile instead of all at once. It works in both the Unity Editor and in-game.

This animation is much slower that generating all the tiles at once, but it looks cool, and it can show you where the generator is having difficulty. This can be handy if the generation takes too long, or keeps failing, due to not having the right sort of tiles.

Seconds Per Step indicates how long to pause between each step and Progress Per Step inidcates how many units of work to do in a step.

Each each unit of work is one of the following:

• Add a tile, and work out all other tiles that are implied by it.
• Backtrack once, done when the current configuration is impossible (if backtracking is enabled).

Uncertainty Tile should be a game object to use to indicate that Tessera is still thinking about a particular tile. The size of the tile indicates how many possibilities still remain.
