Procedural Generated 2D Map

Hello, i want to procedurally generat a map with certain rules: The player looks at a randomly generated map consisting of 4 or 5 pathways connected from left to right Pathways undulate (May have up and down ramps in them). Pathways must not have steps in them (Use appropriate east/west ramps). Pathways may be partially concealed by other pathways in front of them. Every Pathway has at least three consecutive visible, unconcealed blocks.

i have no clue how to do it any help/tipps would be much appreciated

 

Hi @Shimuni,
Since you wrote the rules, you already planned the logic you need for your map generation. Now just figure out each part of the implementation individually.

What is causing trouble so far? Are you going to use Tilemap for visuals? But that really doesn't matter that much.

In any case, you could probably build this kind of map as data, and then decide how to render it. So you could set the map tiles to a 2D array or 1D array and do a 2D to 1D and vice versa conversion when needed. You need to apply your constraints to the generation of your paths. How you generate your paths could vary a lot - you could use pre-built segments which you just add randomly or just generate them completely with code, applying your logic (keep track of east/west ramps and so on.)

 

i have no clue how to do that or what you mean
