In this tutorial learn about GODOT infinite tilemap generation and the process for developing infinite procedurally generated maps akin to 2D versions of no mans sky or the maps used in warframe.

The video flew over my head

Your Godot series are amazing!

Thanks for sharing, it's really helpful to see a clear small example of generating an infinite map! I was wondering how you remove tiles that are far outside the player's view again, to stop accumulating memory?

[@mmorenopampin]

hey! this is awesome! got a performance question though. How would you remove tiles if they get too far away? Your code doesn't do this yet right? all the visited tiles in my implementation stay in the scene and eventually kill my frame rate hahaha. tried to reverse engineer your code to remove tiles past a higher boundary but its tricky any suggestions? can we use an area2d node on tiles?

[@williamhutchins479]

Yes, you just need to figure out what distance you want, how your going to calculate that distance or view from the player, and then how you're going to hide it. Check out a LOD (Level of detail) tutorial as they usually showcase how they do the rest. Good luck!

@@williamhutchins479 LOD is 3d. This tutorial is for 2D. Theres no such thing as LOD for 2D maps

[@tom_paul_3d]

incredibly small and nitpicky thing but make sure your count doesn't infinitely increment by doing maybe something along the lines of count = (count + 1) % 15. You can even try adding a timer node for this specific operation! Then firing it every 1/4 of a second, I think that would make your function FPS independent, not sure.

Godot4 overhauls the tile system, make sure you're using godot3 for this or be prepared for lots of rabbit holes getting the new equivalent system set up

[@hensola]

This is exactly what I have been looking for :)

[@00fresh]

Thanks for making this! Had some great advice in it

[@eNNercY]

i would imagine that flying through space for some time would get a huge amount of objects generated and slow down the game at some point... do you have some kind of culling active? or does it godot on its own?

[@Firoux]

Thanks for the insights, it would be awsome in multiplater :)

[@theuntoldwizard6993]

It would be cool if you made a 3d version of this

[@shanliumoshi7904]

thanks

[@cowinacan794]

Okay but do this for side scroller

[@viyadadna6904]

Thank you for not sharing the code but still showing it in the video
