Thanks ❤

You're welcome

[@alvpjh]

In the BuildAtlas method, pass a "Color" as a parameter, where Color.R, Color.G, Color.B, I suppose it would be nice

[@GuilhermeTeres]

So it would have a default tint, right? Hmmm, that could work...

Hello, World! plus i think this is the first game engine tutorial ever on youtube

[@GuilhermeTeres]

Nice!!
