Terrain generator

[GijsB]

it uses this technic =

0)make 2 points
1)go through all the points
2)make a new point in the middle of 2 points
3)change the hight of that new point with some number, we call it now = Ratio. so we do like :

Code: Select all

hight = hight+math.random(-Ratio,Ratio)

4)change the Ratio to Ratio/2
5)begin by step 1

you can change the smoothness with 'a' and 'b'
(sorry if im making to much threads 3:)

Bad argument #2 to 'random' (interval is empty)

kraftman,

huge tip = never change smoothness to zero

[tentus]

kraftman,

huge tip = never change smoothness to zero

You, as the author, should code in a fix for that, rather than being rude to someone trying to help you out. Also, I glanced at the code: you should work on polishing. I've attached a version that I polished a bit for you: little things like changing the controls to up/down and lowercasing all the variable names, big things like changing smoothness to be whole numbers (to avoid floating point errors) and moving function definitions outside of other functions, good-habit things like checking user input and putting startup variables into love.load

Also, it's a good idea to tell the users how to control your program. It was not until tentus uploaded his version that I figured out what to do.

I hate having to figure out controls for myself. If you want us to test your stuff at the very least provide us with some information.

Actually, he said which controls to use. Only he had it wrong. It was not 'a' and 'b', but 'a' and 'd'. I would have expected it to be up/down too.

Robin, thanks for clearing that out. And i was not my purpose to be mean to kraftman, it's just how you read the line, you know.

But people, back on-topic, what do you think of it?

[Trappingnoobs]

I think it's cool but I think you should make it so if you hold down the buttons for, say, a second, it starts shooting the number up at a stupidly fast speed :-D

[GijsB]

trappingnoobs, good idea
