For performance reasons you might want to temporarily inhibit TpLib from responding to certain Tilemap callbacks, specifically: tilemapPositionsChanged tilemapTileChanged For example, if you fill a large area of tiles these callbacks will trigger repeatedly....

Why so many properties? Fewer serialized fields for things that are just basically boolean switches used by various parts of the system. For subclasses that don’t implement a particular functionality, specific fields aren’t needed, just a constant value. For t...

Simulate can be implemented to use the Editor update event to do something. In TpAnimatedTile and TpFlexAnimatedTile it’s used to show an animation preview. It's unlikely that you'd need to implement this yourself if you inherit from classes that already imple...

Namespaces The GUI formatter for the Brush and Selection inspectors displays information in class-hierarchical order. But it needs to know what not to display, otherwise it will breeze through the class hierarchy all the way to UnityEngine.Object. Therefore, b...
