Terrain Generation in Scratch - Caves and Ores

[@FindingPepper]

Hi! I realized I didn't talk about changing cave radius, which I meant to do. It's not that hard, so if you want to do it you can probably figure it out! I can try to help people add it if needed though.

[@rohanraeburn1166]

We can all agree these tutorials are very helpful and great

[@DaWaffleDog]

Yes.

[@Baddyopal]

Absolutely

[@floppa1048]

FindingPepper you should add season to the terrain generation they are like snow that fall (winter) sunny moments (summer) leaves fall from trees (autumn) and spring or adding night and day cycle Have a Great Day !!

[@FindingPepper]

I wasn't planning to add time-based things to this, but I'll think about it!

[@RaeRae.22]

Yk coming back to this Its very easy to man new biomes

[@xoxogamewolf7585]

The last video you ever release should be called "I FOUND THE PEPPER"

[@MaximusXY]

when is the next part coming out? I love this series!

[@kyriwsmih]

5:13 bless you findingpepper

[@TorboOfficial]

Can you make a episode with making weather?

[@felixiscoool]

YES WE CAN SCROLL

[@freddyfazbear3195]

4:44 I dont know why my project isnt working when i start it it just looks blank nothing happens until 21 secs idk how to fix this after 21 secs it does appear full like it was secretly building

[@FindingPepper]

If you want your terrain to generate all at once, put the refresh pen block outside of the main generation loop in a forever loop. In this case you need to ensure there are no motion blocks in the main loop. If you want it to build slowly put the refresh pen block inside the main loop. Check 4:25 for more information.

[@RonicTheEgg]

Yay! I've been waiting for this since the french revolution Can you make chunks so the map can be much bigger with 0 lag? I tried to do it myself but it didn't end well

[@FindingPepper]

Yes, I will certainly do this after I make this tile-based. I feel like chunks are really more work than they are worth currently, however.

[@DaWaffleDog]

@@FindingPepper I’m trying to do that - make it tile based - using lists and then the griffpatch tile scrolling explanation to get the tiles to be the right costume. Wish me luck!

[@FindingPepper]

@@DaWaffleDog Good luck to you, I'm delighted that you're trying to add new things! That's the way to learn, you know. But I'll do it in the next episode if you can't figure it out.

[@woutgodefroid9345]

Could you try add vertical scrolling too? plz?

[@FindingPepper]

I've already moved on to tile-based generation (episodes 3 and beyond), which do have vertical scrolling. However vertical scrolling in this simple generator would not be particularly exciting I think.

[@ryeoma]

when i generate terrain, everything is fine other than the fact that the first few bits are covereed in trees what should i do

[@Ewumd68CreatorGuy]

fun thing u can do, instead of making it < 240 sets the camera to 240, you can have it loop around (=

[@Guy56778]

On 4:50 for some reason it won’t generate until the x = 1000 can you help me?

[@FindingPepper]

Maybe you are using an if then instead of a repeat until?

[@Guy56778]

No I do it’s just because the forever loop is after the repeat until so the refresh pen does it when x > 999

[@AramWaumans]

Hey Pepper you said 2 not be afraid to ask, so i have a question. Well actually more of a problem, i see u get a lot more caves and extend faster than mine do. what do you suggest?.

[@DaWaffleDog]

Did u do this based off of griffpatch's explanation?

[@FindingPepper]

Yeah, that's actually what inspired me to do this.

[@DaWaffleDog]

@@FindingPepper I was gonna try to, but i couldnt find my brain cells, ty for the tuorial

[@FindingPepper]

yw :)

[@DaWaffleDog]

@@FindingPepper what does yw mean

[@FindingPepper]

you're welcome

[@derwastl]

Cooooool :D

[@Baddyopal]

I don't know why, but I feel like I've copied it block for block but the caves just aren't generating

[@LandenS-l3i]

WHERE ON EARTH DID.THIS GUY LEARN THIS STIFF, BETTER THAN GRIFFPATCH???

[@FindingPepper]

I took inspiration from Griffpatch's video on terrain generation.

[@TorboOfficial]

I added emerald ore

[@Tarlecinia]

can you do the 3d terrain ?

[@FindingPepper]

I'll do a 3d perlin noise tutorial someday

[@TorboOfficial]

Why the cave starts doesn't appear?

[@4dcube358]

The project just chooses 1 biome and stays with it the whole time, please help

[@DaWaffleDog]

To make a seed in this, won't I have to set the a and b (and the c and the d variable in my case) to a set number at the start of the coding?

[@DaWaffleDog]

In hindsight, I don't think that'll work, I'll do some research on seeds

[@DaWaffleDog]

In further hindsight, can't I make a list to store the variable changes every frame as the terrain generates? why am I bothering you with these comments? Soz. Edit 1: I feel like I've commented the most on your videos, well ur terrain ones.

[@FindingPepper]

All the variables change randomly, so setting them won't work. I'm not sure exactly how you would go about making a seed though. Storing the variable changes might work, but would it be easier just to use the finished y positions, biomes, trees, etc. lists? There are probably ways to shorten them too like Griffpatch and others do with level save codes.

[@Cocvbfhscfbhbcd]

My caves are not spawning from the surface

[@ameliebittner]

caves didnt worked for me, i think i did something bad but the dots doesn't spawn :(

[@MaximusXY]

Something is very wring with my project. I can’t figure out what it is, but after implementing the ore colors and testing it, there was only coal in the ground and All the other ore colors were floating one the left edge high in the air

[@MaximusXY]

Could you please publish your version, so I can compare the code?

[@MaximusXY]

I found it, it’s a very dumb mistake.

[@FindingPepper]

It happens to everyone, no worries.

[@Schneekater_Gaming]

pls part 3

[@FindingPepper]

There is a part 3...

[@LOLOLOL9872]

[@SysDataSoftOffical]

make clouds,dimesions.

[@TorboOfficial]

It's so laggy with ores

[@FindingPepper]

I think it's the caves that make it laggy, it has to loop through the whole list of cave segments each frame.

[@TorboOfficial]

@@FindingPepper thanks

[@Ewumd68CreatorGuy]

@@FindingPepper any fixes?

[@FindingPepper]

@@Ewumd68CreatorGuy Maybe? There are probably methods that exist to optimize it, but if so I'm not sure what they are and they're probably quite complicated.

[@Ewumd68CreatorGuy]

@@FindingPepper the only problem is that I have a trash pc and cant run it lol

[@MaximusXY]

This makes no sense. Everything is 1 to 1 what you did, but just doesnt work. Ive checked it 3563 times now there’s nothing wrong with the code, but the dumb ore is still floating on the left edge in the air and everything is coal for some reason

[@DaWaffleDog]

Just ask him. He helped me with an issue in the previous tutorial

[@FindingPepper]

They said they found it

[@DaWaffleDog]

@@FindingPepper oh. ok
