Quick Start

Step 1 — Import the Asset

1. Create a new Unity project (or open an existing one) with Unity 2022.3 LTS or later.
2. Import World Map Strategy Kit from the Package Manager or your downloaded .unitypackage.
3. If using URP, run Edit > Rendering Pipeline > Universal Rendering Pipeline > Upgrade Project Materials to convert demo materials.

Step 2 — Add the Map to Your Scene

1. Open or create an empty scene.
2. Go to GameObject > 3D Object > World Map Strategy Kit Map.
3. Press Play — you should see an interactive 2D world map with country highlighting.

Step 3 — Add the 3D Viewport (Optional)

If you want a 3D surface with heightmap, fog of war, and cloud layers:

1. Go to GameObject > 3D Object > World Map Strategy Kit Viewport.
2. In the WMSK inspector, set Render Viewport to reference the new viewport object.
3. Press Play — the map now renders on a 3D surface with terrain features.

Step 4 — Explore the Demo Scenes

The best way to learn WMSK is to run the included demo scenes in order:

1. Open the Demos folder inside the WMSK package.
2. Start with Demo Scene #1 and work through them sequentially.
3. Each scene has a C# script attached to a Demo GameObject — read the source to learn the API.

Recommended Learning Path

1. Run demo scenes — Get familiar with features hands-on
2. Read the docs — Start with Representation Modes to pick your map style
3. Decide your game design — Choose between 2D, Viewport, or Terrain mode
4. Study matching demos — Focus on the demos closest to your design
5. Build your prototype — Use the API Reference for scripting
