I've made a map script that is based on tectonics lines, here is the algorithm:
Right now, I've put some random variables to test the valid range of the parameters. It can create huge mountains lines or islands. I have yet to do the step 2 i.e. add some random volcanoes on the map. I have some questions:
- Put random tectonic lines on the map
- Put random volcanoes on the map (to-do)
- Iterate through X iterations and raise the land using averaging of sibling plots
- Iterate through Y iterations and lower the land using averaging of sibling plots
Right now, I've put some random variables to test the valid range of the parameters. It can create huge mountains lines or islands. I have yet to do the step 2 i.e. add some random volcanoes on the map. I have some questions:
- How do you add configurable parameters to the map?
- What options should I create? I'm thinking about a map type option i.e. pangea, islands, continents etc.
