Create your first board

Outcome

Create an 8 by 8 square board in Unity and see all 64 cells in the Scene view.

Steps

  1. Create an empty scene and an Assets/FirstBoard folder.

  2. Select Tools > Lost Lily > Grid Toolkit > Create Grid Board....

  3. Enter these values:

    Field Value
    Name First Board
    Topology Square
    Width 8
    Height 8
    Renderer Setup World 3D
    Cell Size 1
    Asset Folder Assets/FirstBoard

  4. Select Create.

Create Grid Board wizard configured for an 8 by 8 square World 3D board
Use these values and leave the starter structure disabled.

The starter structure stays disabled so the next step can show the normal asset workflow for authoring a reusable structure, assigning its visual, and connecting its library.

  1. Select Assets/FirstBoard/First Board Board.asset. In Board Summary, confirm Cells: 64.
  2. Enter Play Mode and select the generated First Board scene object.
  3. In GridBoardAuthoring, confirm State ready at revision 0.
First Board selected in Play Mode with ready revision 0 state, a connected view, and World 3D renderer
The board is ready at revision 0 and its connected World 3D view displays 64 cells.

What you should see

  • The board asset reports 64 cells.
  • The authoring component reports a ready state at revision 0.
  • The Scene view shows an 8 by 8 field of cells.
  • The connected GridBoardView reports a ready renderer.

The Scene view is the reliable visual checkpoint. A Game view camera and lighting are optional. The detailed list of generated assets and components is explained in Understand your board.
