Random Tiled Background

hi there, this might be really simple but i cant work it out, i want to have a tiled background with about 4 different tiles to add variety to the background and for it to randomly generate the tiles on the tiled background, but i have no idea how to accomplish this

thanks for any help

Try to have your bg as a sprite and add different animations to it.

Select a random number generator and each selection represents one of the bg.

So let's say you get 3 (from 1-4) load the third animation.

ahh i see what you mean but i think i didnt make my question clear sorry. say you look at rpgs they got loads of random tiles to make the maps look unique well i want to

have several tiles randomly generate together next to each other to make a unique background. and i dont want to do it by having like 700 background sprites for each section of bg, you understand?

thanks for replying

anyone?

Hi, I'm very new here but came across this a few days ago, it may help you get started scirra.com/tutorials/360/ge ... m-tile-map

rofl thanks for the reply but i generally just found the same tutorial

darkrealos, glad to hear. Between the tutorials and a forum full of helpful users you can find pretty much everything you need here, but its a shame some of the older links to capx files don't work on some of the forum answers.
