Will it lose its leaves in autumn?

And no @kleiba there are no seasons in a world without a sun.  Well, as long as the trees don't mind, I sure don't :-) |

so no pg trees ?
I'd have thought you would have gone that route.
then again, those trees do look nice.

@nikki It would be nice and, you're right, that was my plan. But now my priority is to just get a nice world being generated, and I can swap out the methods later if I need greater generative flexibility and variety.  @coolestnerd The solar system has a star, but the planet is always facing away from it. It still gets light and reflected UV from the moons, hence the trees can exist. Is that enough science for you? |

Lol, nah, just the part with moonman on. The other side is uninhabitable because its just scorched earth. Which btw was an awesome game. :D

Is that enough science for you? No, how the planet doesn't rotate? It's kinda a... stationary planet? How that's even possible? And Is the planet flat, like earth until the 17th century? |

The (spherical) planet definitely rotates on its axis, just enough so that one side is always facing the sun. See Tidal Locking. SCIENCE! |

Now I feel like my IQ is doubled! ... ... ... It's enough science for now, Ben. Wow, man, you deserve like a PhD degree or something, dude!
Yeah, as game programmer and astronomer. Is that enough science for you? No, how the planet doesn't rotate? Just watching the gif on Wikipedia made me noticed how that made no sense. |

Update: Experimenting with density and size distribution within forests.

That GIF looks awesome!
Are the trees drawn manually or generated?

@kleib They are drawn manually. I have about 15 atm, but I'll hopefully make that around 30 if I can. Procedural generation would be cool .. maybe one day! Update: Worked on the planting algorithm today. Given a density and a region, the system places the trees across the terrain: spacing them based on their width; distributing their sizes so bigger ones appear in the middle; and doing various block modifications so the tree connects seamlessly with the ground. You can see some of this in the following image. (For scale, moonman is about half the height of the smallest trees.)  |

How do these new trees relate to the ASCII graphics style?

Cool looking forest, I like the twisty S shaped tree too. I always find it cool when people talk about how they make procedurally generated stuff.

@kleiba Hopefully I'll integrate the two soon and then you'll see. Update: Doing some stress testing ..  |
