NAMI: World Generator

DEMO

PLANNING

• start a fill for each capital, create roads for all cities found in radius
  • repeat for towns and at last, villages
• every city has a routing table
• each route has a id, cities,

General ideas

• Optimize canvas rendering
  • Use offscreen canvas
  • When map fills screen entirely, snap canvas to viewport, otherwise translate canvas element
• create world types [medieval, cyberpunk, steampunk]
• Point
  • create a wrappedAdjacents similar to Point.adjacents(parentPoint) that receives a rect
• Create ArrayGrid
  • PointSets can be dependent on a rect to map points to indexes in a matrix, thus using integers instead of points - each index represents a point
• Solve [Violation] 'input' handler message by lazy evaluating commands

CivilLayer

• Set city type using a fill from capital point
  • depending on realm type, can grow less or more cities
  • Put inns/outposts at borders of city radius
• Each city in block map can occupy tiles as zones or neighborhoods
• Dungeon types and levels like cat quest
  • dungeons at high level like 79
• Add city ruins on dry rivers or dry land
• Start a fill to determine city area
• create junction points between two route points to set midpath detours
  • follow road and calc nearest junction start

LandformLayer

• type of stretch often make waterfalls or rapids
• canyon / volcano / reef

SociologyLayer

• Start a fill on capitals to determine realms territory

RainLayer

• Make rain dynamic using noise offset and season temp.get(point, season)
