Trying to use perlinnoise for generation of terrain
I am trying to generate a procedural terrain using perlin noise. Before, I was just creating a 1000 * 1000 vertice terrain so I just had a simple function that would fill the height map with the noise values.
However now I am trying to generate a…

How to return tile based on heightmap efficiently?
I am procedurally generating a world and for each position in the Tilemap I call this function in order to get the tile type that matches the height:
public static NaturalTile GetNaturalTileByHeight(float height)

How to generate objects (trees) on tiles at runtime? (Unity 2D Tilemap)
I am making a game that looks similar to Rimworld (top-down colony simulator) for a college project and I procedurally generate my terrain using perlin noise, then for each tile in the map I use SetTile() to populate the map with walkable…

Procedural generation and permutations question
I probably won't pursue this but I had this idea of generating a procedural universe in the most memory efficient way possible.
Like in the game Elite, you could use a random number generator based on a seed, and so each star system can be…

What could be causing meshes to generate rotated? LWGL
I am loading chunk values from a height map to create infinite terrain, but I'm having issues with the rendering of each mesh chunk. When I load a single 500x500 unit mesh, it is a smooth mesh. When I load a 5x5 of 100x100 meshes, it is a jumbled up…

Unity: mesh.triangles = t; mesh.triangles == t returns false
I'm making a program where a large and complicated mesh is procedurally generated. At first I generated a large number of smaller meshes, which works just fine, but then I decided to merge them together and some triangles got corrupted.
After a bit…

Is there any way to improve performance of my procedural generation code?
I've been working on a project lately that creates procedurally generated terrain which uses 3d simplex noise as well as the Marching cubes algorithm. I am currently running it on my cpu which takes around 10-20 seconds to render a 200x200x200…

Can you reset World.frameCount in Code.org JS (Game Lab)?
This question is for a game I am working on in the Game Lab in Code.org. The game in question will be like a skydiving game, where obstacles spawn at random intervals (between 1000 and 3000 ms). Here is the code:
World.frameRate = 10;
var rects =…

Generating and manipulating big raster
I'm working on a strategy game.
One of the main mechanics is that the game map can be manipulated. Change terrain, elevation and so on. The map is randomly generated and consists of a block of a specified size.
This is the problem. If I generate say…

How do i distribute the influence of different world generators to generate terrain?
My applogies for the title as I do not know the correct term for my problem.
I'm using Simplex Noise (with 8 octaves) to generate a height map for my terrain. To get the terrain blend in, I calculated which biome fits the location best using a…

Unity - Deleting other instances spawning on top of another, but keeping the original
So, I am working on some level generation stuff in Unity, and I have some cubes spawning around the world. The way I have it working right now, is that each floor tile checks if there is 'air' around it and if so, it spawns a wall. But, if I have a…
