Use single shader to render multiple individual tile textures?
I want to achieve something like this with a single shader in Unity. My world is 2D, the shader will be rendered on a flat quad. I have multi-dimensional arrays storing tile position, elevation, etc. I need to somehow pass tile information to a shader, where I can render appropriate tile textures onto the quad.
I am using Unity's Shader Graph (but I am willing to learn alternative methods in Unity). I don't feel like the Unity subreddit is advanced enough to help me on such a niche topic, so I'm reaching out here instead. I am asking for any suggestions, links, or resources available to demonstrate how rendering many tiles with a single shader is possible in Unity. Thanks!
Edit: I have recently been looking into Minecraft clone tutorials, where people use shaders to render textures for entire "chunks" of blocks. In Unity, these tutorials take advantage of the vertices in the chunk's mesh, where they somehow translate vertex coordinates via the Texture2DArray class in Unity's Shader Graph. Even still, I struggle to understand how my 2D quad with four vertices could be adapted to achieve as much...

If Mario got into procedural generation would it look something like this?

I made an Open-Source Unofficial API for Google's MusicLM in the AI Test Kitchen
Hey everyone! I recently created an unofficial Python API for Google's MusicLM, part of the AI Test Kitchen. With this API, you can generate music tracks based on a given input string and a desired track count (up to 8) beyond what the official website offers. The project handles authentication, token management, and provides convenient methods for generating and saving audio files. Check it out and leave some feedback!

How can I stop running out of memory while procedurally generating maps?
So you have your fancy-pants generation algorithm and it does a weird complicated thing to get a cool thing. My problem (and I presume lots of other people have had this problem) is that I generate an instance which looks cool and then I want to use it. To use it I cant do the fancy-pants generation every time so I have to store it.
What data structures allow for efficient storage and computation with procedurally generated maps? Right now I am using a custom python function to generate a noise map, uniformly sampling it into a 2-D numpy array with the value of each cell being the “height”. Is there a better way to do this?
