PixelLab Side-Scroller

Class: PentaTileLayoutPixelLabSideScroller

PixelLab Side-Scroller reads PixelLab's 8x8 side-scroller tileset output. It shares the same corner-mask behavior as the top-down layout, but uses the side-scroller cell-to-role table.

Like the top-down layout, it currently uses deterministic first-cell selection for masks with multiple candidate cells.

Template

Atlas contract

Setup

1. Generate or import a PixelLab side-scroller tileset output.

3. Set layout to PentaTileLayoutPixelLabSideScroller.
4. Assign the PixelLab atlas as the layer tile_set, or use the fallback template for quick testing.

Authoring notes

• mask=0 dispatches to the first side-scroller role-12 cell at (0, 0).
• Variation-bank picking is deterministic first-cell selection in v0.2.
• Use this variant, not Top-Down, when your PixelLab output uses the side-scroller cell table.
