more interesting terrain #76

Closed bfops closed 9 years ago

bfops commented 9 years ago

change terrain gen from a 2d heightmap to a 3d heightmap, and then create a mesh using something like isosurface extraction (create polygons only for chunks that cross a +/- boundary in the perlin noise)

bfops commented 9 years ago

Consider ditching perlin noise, or only using it as a coarse basis for more interesting terrain gen. Eventually we'll probably want multiple passes, for placing things like trees, houses, etc.

bfops commented 9 years ago

We'll almost definitely want voxels or tiles for terrain generation. That might also also fit in with incremental loading/unloading (https://github.com/bfops/playform/issues/84).

Trees or houses would be nice.
