Tile Map Accelerator - Automatic Object Layering

Simple demonstration of automatic z axis layering using Tile Map Accelerator, the tile map rendering shader Unity asset. Layering works by checking the various tile map layers to see if any non transparent tiles are currently "above" the player. You can see this happen by looking at the Z position parameter at the top right of the screen. This system should work as is, which currently only checks the "center" neighbor, but will benefit from checking the full neighborhood, especially for larger objects that must use the automatic layering system such as large enemies, npcs, critters, movable objects, etc.

The very basic 8 directional character sprite sheet is animated based on keyboard input and the various lines of numbers, representing the correct animation frames to use and in what sequence. This system meshes with the native sprite sheet editor / splitter, where the numbers represent which "sub sprite" should be used.
