Load existing GameObjects into a 2D array

Question

I'm making a tile based board game (on a grid). In going about making the gameboard, the easy thing would be to instantiate all of the tiles in code, but then they only appear in play mode. I want to be able to edit the tiles in the editor, but I still want my tiles to be stored in a 2D array in my controller class. If I build the board in the editor, how might I go about loading them in at runtime?

Answer 1

Keep The Tiles in the Resources Folder Unity. At Run-time Load from the Resources and instantiate Tiles To Your Grid Positions in the Scene.

GameObject[] Tiles= (Resources.LoadAll<GameObject> ("Tiles"));
