It just miss a  Hand Metal Left

I am now tempted to hide a Hand Metal Left into the game as an easter egg.

Decided to improve upon my map generator to get away from the boxed in look of the terrain. Here's what happened in the process. Calculated a random offset from the center but forgot to rand() it so each piece was equal distance away.



Well, at least it's not boxy anymore.

It's not a bug, it's a feature :3

That reminds me of mine, I had one exactly like that, but here's a similar one:

Another fail image that I like a lot (...actually I don't think this is a failure I think I just turned off the main island and amped up the number of secondary islands):

This is the kind of output you get from the finished generator (along the lines of what I was trying to make): http://i.cubeupload.com/3T9fVR.png

Why is it broken? It looks fine to me. Unless it's not supposed to have that many colors?

robolee, hey, these look really cool actually. I wouldn't call them failures for sure Smiley

How are you generating your maps? Noise + tresholds?

Nope, my methods were pretty simple but intensive... I used randomly placed circular plateaus (size determined by distance from "peak", biggest being in the center), then sent out many "runners" which move in a random direction each step and raise the ground at their position (small sized circle for the main island and single pixel for the fringe islands), I then did range clipping to reduce the map to 5 or so discrete steps and did a few passes to grow the shallow water and beach. All in all very inefficient, but my own way of doing it and it looks decent enough.

I read a few things on midpoint displacement and noise maps and stuff but eventually I just thought 'fuck this I'll do it my own way'. I could do better, make it much more efficient, easier to tweak, more predictable... I was throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what stuck.

Bitmap font offsets and interlacing fail.  I kinda like it though.

The font is inspired by the old IBM PS2 / VGA BIOS, so scan lines would actually be quite fitting... hmm.

*snip*

Depth information for a chunk of landscape encoded into RGB channels.
Technically not a fail as this is working correctly, but it's not meant for a human to gaze upon.
This is amazing
