First of all, hello to everybody, It's my first post here but I've been reading you from long time ago! I have just finished a tutorial about how to implement 2d randomly generated terrain similar to the ones of Worms games. The source code is in java, but It can be easly moved to other programming languages. You can read it here: http://www.indierover.com/ktb-tutorial-1-2d-randomly-generated-terrain-for-worms-style-game/I hope it will be useful for some of you! PD: Sorry for my bad english, any correction will be appreciated! PPD: If you like it, please, post some comments in my blog, I really enjoy answering them!  |

Minor English correction: It's PS, not PD. Stands for "Post Script". Otherwise your English seems excellent. Nice tutorial too.

Great tutorial. I had to solve a lot of these same problems a few years back when I was working on a Worms-like game. I used a different method for generating the terrain, though. I created a 2D Perlin Noise image and used a threshold value to set which pixels were solid and non-solid. It gave me some pretty interesting organic shapes, although in retrospect, I probably should have done a second pass to clean up rough edges and small holes/islands.

Thanks Kyle Do you have a link to that game? I would like to play it! It's pretty prototype-ish. It was a student project with a strict three month timeline, so I has to cut some features like AI for single player (it's hotseat multi only). Also I blatantly stole the exploding livestock and holy hand grenade from Worms 2.  But I guess they stole it from Monty Python, so it's cool.  Also apparently some of the screenshots got borked when I moved my website content to a new server and I didn't even notice it until now. Whoops! |

Thanks Eclipse!
Your game looks great, J. Kyle! The results are similar, but your terrain generator is better, I can see caves, etc. Good work!

Great tutorial! It makes everything sound so simple...
I might be able to figure out by looking in the code, but how can you get fast and relatively accurate collisions detection from the terrain you generated?

Great that you liked it! I'm planning to create more tutorials using IndieLib and really helps me to know that someone is using my tutorials. I might be able to figure out by looking in the code, but how can you get fast and relatively accurate collisions detection from the terrain you generated? If you don't need real physics (something bouncing) is quite simple. I just check the position of the bomb in each frame and I make a "get_pixel" in order to get the color of the background in that position. If it is transparent, that means the granade is still in the air, if it isn't that means the granade is upon terrain, so there is a collision. And then I just draw a circle of transparent pixels in order to erase the terrain, simulating a explosion. More complex physic, with bounces and that, is of course... more complex, |
