Also I should mention I am brand new to the Godot engine so I know nothing about it.

#

@pallid apex

#

So you basically want to create a game made of pixels right

pallid apex
#

yes

violet thunder
#

And you want the camera to be wide enough to fit 8×8

pallid apex
#

yes

violet thunder
#

But i think 8×8 camera is kinda square so your game window will be a square

#

Anyways

#

Click on the tilemap and search for the property cell

#

Make the size 1px in x and 1px in y

#

Now you can place your tiles perfectly

#

But if you want my advice working on a 1 pixel tiles is very hard and small
You will have to make everything small
Instead you can make normal 16×16 tileset /blocks of the same color so they appear like they are pixels

#

So your environment wont be very small and hard to handle

#

also 1 pixel tileset will make working with particles and lights kinda impossible

#

..

#

For the camera

#

You can add a node called camera2d to your player

#

Search to the property current in the inspector

#

Check that property to be true

#

Now you use the property zoom to control the size of the camera

#

So camera2d only allows u to control zoom
But if you want to change real screen size
Go to project from up left
Then window
Change the size to be whatever you want
Square etc...
The preferred size is the raio 16:9
It fits most screens

pallid apex
#

I was thinking of a stationary camera

violet thunder
pallid apex
#

single fixed camera

#

right

#

I want my pixel to slide left and right

#

on an 8x8

violet thunder
#

Your pixel stands for your player?

pallid apex
#

yes

#

think space invaders but on 8x8

#

1x1 player

violet thunder
