Showcase > Apps and Utilities ( Created 30 May 2010 | Last Edited 11 July 2010) Hero Extant: World Generator - Created by HoboBen (Rating 100%) A random world generator, part of a larger project. Now open source!!! Created using Cobra > Windows View Worklog (0 entries) Download page As part of my work-in-progress RPG, I've completed the terrain-generation stage of my "random world generator". Outputs to PNG files or a simple binary file, with instructions, so its perfect for generating worlds for your own games, too! Draw a nice 32x32 tile for each pixel of your map, and you've got a huge new random world in a few seconds. For windows, but works on Linux with wine. Features: New, unique, random terrain every time! Realistic wind and rain simulation Detailed temperature bands Detects contiguity of terrain bodies Tweaked for optimum terrain variance, for balanced game play. Supports maps of up to 2048 by 2048 Exports data to PNG Exports data to simple binary format Actually fairly fast now Link: Previous screenshots/comments from WIP section Screenshots: Rendered Final Map Terrain Types Terrain Contiguity Wind and Rain Simulation Temperature Simulation Latest Comments Posted : Sunday, 30 May 2010, 14:00 HoboBen Posted : Sunday, 30 May 2010, 20:58 Mog Holy crap - spiffy. The rivers look a lot better too. One thing to consider adding now are larger bodies of in-land water.
