World Config

[notchris]

There should be a number of 'worlds' or 'courses', with 12 holes in each. The environments (and obstacles) should change based on the world. The default configuration is a sky shader.

Example:

• Trees
• Mound
• Barrier
• Grass
• Sand
• Granite
• Water

A standard map might be a series of layers of elements already presented in the course. As you carve into the layers you eventually expose the next element

Cutting away at the layers

A course with such a deep set of layers would have to be a lot larger for it have breathing space.

Revised layers

Cake Trap

• Grass 1 layer
• Sand 2 layer
• Water 1 layer
• Barrier 1 layer
• no granite or soil. The creator adds these by hand.

### OLD Optimal sweet spot for starting maps

• Grass 1 layer
• Sand 1 layer
• Water 1 layer
• Barrier 1 layer

Moving in the upwards vertical direction. Grass Rock Stone etc.can go up 2 - 4 layers and the map will sill feel balanced.

A minimum of 3x3 space for an element works with the unit size as a style guide.

@circuitbone very nice! How do they get from the fairway to the hole? Would there be a bridge over the water?

In that particular map above, they would have to make it across without any assistance.

REVISED Optimal sweet spot for starting maps

• Rock 1 layer
• Rough 1 layer
• Grass 1 layer
• Sand 1 layer
• Water 1 layer

Using a few simple loops you can instantiate the layers in arrays of that element. The user of the map editor ( creator ) can take away fairway units and expose sand or water traps.

A starting template of the land units might look like this. The rough layer has had a denial of placement to get the hole during the loop.
