## Description

Create a 2D tile palette from sprites or textures, or make tiles change based on their neighbours. Use for tile palettes or self-connecting tiles, even when the user doesn't name them.

# Create a tile palette

Pick the matching reference doc based on what the user wants, then follow it:

- **Tile Palette**, [references/palette-create.md](references/palette-create.md), when the user wants to organize tiles for 2D level design or create a new rectangular, hexagonal, isometric, or isometric Z as Y grid layout.
- **Blank/empty RuleTile** (no sprites provided), [references/ruletile-createempty.md](references/ruletile-createempty.md), when the user wants a blank RuleTile (rectangular grid), HexagonalRuleTile, or IsometricRuleTile for custom rule configuration and has not provided or referenced any sprites.
- **RuleTile built from existing sprites** (sprites, terrain art, edge tiles provided), [references/ruletile-createfromsegment.md](references/ruletile-createfromsegment.md), when the user wants tiles that autotile as they paint, or a RuleTile built from existing terrain or edge sprites so tiles connect correctly.
