Procedural World Generation | How does it work?

[@Super-qr7wm]

This man is slowly creating a beastly generation of genius coders "in this video I made terrain generation similar to expert teams and did for free while doing it in a engine meant for children" is basically the title

[@judeposey2395]

yessss ikr, its insane

[@alvargd6771]

The generation showcased in this video was made by 1 or 2 unexperienced programmers in a month or so 10 years ago Terraria pays more attention to balancing the over 5000 items, >500 mobs, around 20 bosses, array of different biomes, extensive soundtrack, the incredible amount of pixel art, plenty of different mechanics like fishing, events, golf, wind, health, accesories, inventory, etc and its steady progression system Also scratch wasnt just meant for little kids

[@Super-qr7wm]

@@alvargd6771 its meant to teach children the basics of coding and I using it to exaggerate what the man did cause I have played terraria before and I know that this is just a fragment of the game but it emphasizes what he did because I found it so cool

I have made several games in Unity using perlin noise to achive procedural generation, but I have always wondered about how you can do it in Scratch. The idea of using the brush to create noise maps in genius! Thanks for the video!

[@CubsYT]

Perlin noise is more than possible in Scratch, it just takes a bit of math inside of a custom function. If you're curious I could send you a project which features an easily useable one??

[@theoldlaser]

@@CubsYT I'm curious. Link?

[@Pratixx]

I use Roblox Studio to make some perlin-based terrain and it also never made sense how to do it in Scratch.

[@CubsYT]

@@Pratixx I left a link to a scratch project which shows how to use perlin noise in scratch but I think it got deleted, bummer

[@elvingpierre8060]

Great tutorial! I like the concept of learning the theory before you code it, so you understand exactly what you're doing!

[@griffpatch]

Glad it was helpful! - Yes, after thinking hard on how to go about this one, I decided there was too much to cover to make a good one that went straight into coding.

[@redermac5667]

@@griffpatch This is Really cool even though I did vote for tile scrolling Platformer but can we do 3d generation?

[@griffpatch]

@@redermac5667 We won't be doing much 3d in Scratch because it's not really suited. And those that do are very advanced coders already. We can do some simple stuff, and maybe a raycaster maze style project?

[@redermac5667]

@@griffpatch yeah but that does not use images to make it look like a realistic game so it would be just colors 🤔

[@griffpatch]

@@redermac5667 Yes indeed... If you look at my own 3d projects, I have never made a textured 3d game either... It just takes so much time/effort in Scratch that I tend to work on projects like that too much.

The effort you put into your projects is extremely impressive! You’re easily the best creator on Scratch! Keep up the great work! PS: I want to quickly make a suggestion if that’s alright, which is a series on how to make a Mario Party game! It’s one of my favourite multiplayer game series’ of all time, and I really want to recreate it on Scratch.

Wow, this is quite spectacular! I've always wondered how you did the world generation. I have always thought you just used perlin noise but the way you did it is much simpler!

[@dr.cronic8267]

Can’t wait to see this series grow! Hopefully we will eventually to save systems. I’m making a survival game and know everything I need for it, but save systems are the one thing I’m not sure how to code.

[@smth35]

Use a global variable with a list, and make a block that reads from the global variable. That is literally my whole idea for how to make saving systems in scratch.

[@LineOfThy]

the easiest way is to somehow encode the entire level into one string and make the player copy it. In fact, I'll list a couple of ways to do that. 1) Whenever you are being random, use a seed-based random system so your entire world can be controlled by one number, this makes saving the base world much easier. 2) Add in parts for every time the user/world has changed in some way 3) Profit

We need a tutorial on how to make this ourselves! I would love to make something like it!

[@trombone28]

Quick question about the diagram at 16:17. I'm assuming that variable "Radius" is supposed to be the radius of the "brush", and the "band width" is the "size" of one grid square, but what are variables "offset x" and "offset y"? (Or have I got this all wrong and am just confusing myself (it's really late lol))

[@griffpatch]

Radius is the radius of the brush yes. Band width is not the pixel size. It's the width of one horizontal band of the circle. So since you know the height of the circle, you start at the top (where offsey y = radius), and then repeat downwards for each row. You can calculate offset x (the edge of the circle in the x direction) using pythagorus. This let's you quickly fill in the horizontal bands of the circle to form a full filled circle.
