Auto tiling is a powerful technique in 2D gamedev that allows you to build levels much easier by setting a tile as populated or not, and having the editor programmatically place the corresponding tile. Typically this involves checking the 8 neighbours and choosing from 16 to ~47-56 Tiles. In theory there are 256 permutations, but you can get away with creating much less. Of course you could create a world with just 1 tile, but we are after painted edges.

ABSTRACT Background & Context Implementation of computational thinking (CT) pathways in school districts offers important opportunities to broaden access to computing by creating consistent, cumulative, and competency-based computing opportunities for all students in grades K-12. This study is part of a larger research practice partnership (RPP) working as a collaborative network to design, implement, and revise districts’ CT Pathways.
