Dr. Mario – landscape

https://openprocessing.org/sketch/1481951

This is my landscape generator, it creates a basic landscape with several layers with different colours to distinguish the contour lines of the world. It is then populated with trees and villages to bring signs of life.

If I had more time (and was allowed to use unity), I would take what I learnt in this project to make 3D landscapes with auto generating terrain and villages similar to minecraft as I think the way I approached this project would allow easy transition to 3D by adding a simple height map based on the perlin noise. I wanted to add a camera movement system, but I found out that I would have had to overhaul my project and make it 3D and I didn’t have time for that. This project was really fun, enjoyed making some basic pixel art again.
