CubbyLand

Voxel-based world map generator and editor for MineScroll. Generates island maps with a focus on mountains, rivers, coastlines.

About

Procedural Content Generation for Polygonal Maps.

The main idea behind the algorithm is taken from Amit's Polygonal Map Generation for Games.

The main code of this repository is based on Polygonal Map Generator.

Features

• Place a number of random but uniformly distributed points (using Poisson Disk Sampling).
• Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the points (using Lloyd's algorithm).
• Using Perlin Noise determine which cells are land and which are water.
• Calculate the elevation of each point as its distance to the sea. Normalize all the heights.
• Place river sources in random spots and let them flow downwards.
• Calculate the moisture od each point given its distance to the sea (less moisture) and rivers (more moisture).
• Using Conex Hull algorithm determine the order of points.
• Use parameters to control map generation (e.g. the number of islands, maximum heights of map, and so on).
• Use polygonal map generator for basement (e.g. lava, mineral, cave, ground water, and so on).

To-do

• Add parameters to control map generation (e.g. the number of islands, maximum heights of map, and so on).
  • Seed
  • The number of points
  • The size of map
  • The number of islands
  • The size of island
  • The number of rivers
  • The size of river
  • Noise
  • Biome ratio
  • Land ratio
  • Output data options
  • Etc
• Make grid-based calculation and show grid-based map result.
• Export map data to text-based information (e.g. text, XML, or JSON).
• Add polygonal map generator for basement (e.g. lava, mineral, cave, ground water, and so on).
