{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/UiABoNiFYhc>" %}

This is a quick tutorial which will help you create your first tile map world with TileWorldCreator.

1. Create a new scene
2. Add an empty GameObject and reset transformations
3. Add the TileWorldCreatorManager component to the GameObject.
4. Create a configuration asset. Right click in the project view and select:\ <mark style="background-color:green;">Create / TileWorldCreator / Configuration</mark>
5. Assign the configuration asset to the TileWorldCreatorManager's configuration property

5. Assign the blueprint layer Island to the build layer. Make sure "Use Dual Grid" is enabled because we will add a dual grid tile preset.

6. Next, add the BaseBlockTiles preset to the tile presets.\
   You can find the preset in the folder: <mark style="background-color:green;">TileWorldCreator / Tiles URP / BaseBlockTiles</mark>
7. The basic configuration is now done. Yay!&#x20;
