Improved map generation with perlin noise #15

Closed winnie334 closed 6 years ago

winnie334 commented 6 years ago

Hi there!

When I forked this repository I was planning to do one of the TODO's. However, it kinda bothered me that the map felt so... "off". It was just a random mix of land and water. That is why I implemented this new perlin noise, which generates a more "realistic" map. While it wasn't on the todo list, I hope it is still of any use! There are some parameters in the config file as well which you can use to fine-tune the map generation (I suggest you to play a bit with it, so you can choose the default values you want).

Example of a new map: image

Also, as you can see, some of the creatures spawn in the ocean. Perhaps you can let them spawn only on land, or spawn children next to their parents -- I'll leave that choice to you.

Thanks for making this repo, it is fun playing with it!

Love it, the creatures are each randomly spawned. The children actually do spawn on top of their parents. I will work on the spawn positions though
