• DynamicPlatfroms and StaticPlatforms are divided into two sub-categories named DynamicTiles and StaticTiles.
• Each asset is postfix with that category and sub-category so that you can identify them sseparately.
• DP = Dynamic Platform
• SP = Static Platform

  Template Overview

• Dynamic Platforms
• Dynamic Platform Templates will generate new tiles in a dynamic Location corresponding to the previous tile.
• Static Platforms
• Static Platform Templates will generate new tiles in a straight line.
• Dynamic Tiles
• You can create dynamic tiles from these templates, what that means is that it will create a new tile at the end of the platform, and destroy the tile that is no longer in use.
• Static Tiles
• You can create Static tiles from these templates, it uses a technique called Polling, what it does is rather than creating and destroying tile every time the player moves, it will move a tile from front to end so that it has better performance.
