I'm messing around with a 2d style platformer and I want to add collectibles next. Rather than creating a simple collectibles scene and then instancing/duplicating it over and over, I figured it may be more efficient to create a tile map with just that one tile attached to it, but I don't know If this is a plausible option. This brings me back to my main question, can it be done? And more importantly, how can it be done?
p.s. I'm sorry if this all sounds vague, but I'm still fairly new to game design and when I explained this to rubber duck sensei, I was only answered with more questions.
p.s.s. That said, if you need me to elaborate more, I will do my best to do so.
