write-a-map

I feel like I've asked this before, but I can't find it if I did.

I've had an idea for a game that requires random maps. Unfortunately, I can't figure out a script that'll write multiple blocks across the map. Like Layer 0 will be grass, water and shoreline, but I need to write a map that draws the shoreline completely accurately and randomly every time.

I realize this is a slimeton of work, and I don't know if I'll ever make the game, but I want to try.

You didn't actually ask a question here. Which part do you need help with?

Please don't say "the entire thing."

I think he's asking around to see if there's a way to possibly make a script to generate a random dungeon map.

There is a way. You can script just about anything these days.

For an example see my game, Tim-Tim's Tower.
Or James Paige's Baconthulu game.

I'll take a look at the scripts and try to figure something out. Basically, I can get one tile to write across the entire map; I'm just trying to figure out how to use a variety of tiles.

Here's an ancient tutorial on what I think you're asking for on The Moglery that generates a world. You'd have to edit it to make it handle placement of the shoreline however.

Hope this one'll help ya.

Perhaps I'll take a weekend to analyze that and post an updated script when I understand it. Thanks!
