Here, we will assume that the Level game object position and rotation is always (0,0,0) and the scale is (1,1,1). Also, the 2D mode is selected by default.

Later, we will work on how keep this configuration by default. Based on the grid we created, we need to implement a few things to achieve our goal:

Inside the Level class, add the following methods in the Level.cs script:

public Vector3 WorldToGridCoordinates(Vector3 point) {
  Vector3 gridPoint = new Vector3(
