Getting Data

• SimpleGrid creates individual objects in the given order and stores them inside a list of cells. Cell is basically a Serializable C# class.
• You can access SimpleGrid's data like below.

using UnityEngine;

public class LevelManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public BaseGridSettings gridSettings;

    private void Start()
    {
        gridSettings.Create();
        Debug.Log("First Cell is at: " + gridSettings.Cells[0].worldPos);
    }
}
