merry Christmas everyone and happy holidays

thanks for the example but could you explain why the first loop runs from 1 to 20 and second loop runs from 3 to 20??

this is the first time i saw that plugin since it's not listed in the completed addons section

experimented some more and was able to make a minecraft2d-ish thing, but still my approach is pretty clumsy. Here is a cap-

the concept is pretty simple, generate the next tile depending upon the position of the previous one.

Alter with the values of 'store' var to generate different types of terrain.

right now it's not looking good since i am unable to generate the tiles beneath the grass tiles.

(I tried once but the events for that are toggled off, since it slows down everything)

although I don't celebrate christmas but still I don't mind making others smile for a few seconds

here you go

left and right click for a firecracker, holding LMB gives some fun effects

can somebody suggest some beginner books or articles on procedural generation?

lately i was very much intrigued by this concept and wanted to try this in construct, read about two different algorithms(one by chevy-ray and another one midpoint displacement) but couldn't apply them properly.

Any help?

edit: i think I posted this in the wrong section, can any mod please move this thread to open topic

eh...looks like irbis and newt are best buddies

but still i'll go with irbis on this, he was just trying to post some resources for others help. It's for those who can't model nor have the patience to learn it, just like game making programs, it's for those who can't learn programming but are good at logic and stuff.

— nice list, although i won't to be trying anything but still it would be helpful for others.

[quote:3qjr1g3b] used paypal to buy it... Or do you mean that you don't have a paypal account?

Anyway... raise your hand if you've accidentally burned down your house

i don't have a paypal account(under 18). Nor anybody in my family and friends have it mostly because it's not the most popular thing in India.

I could pirate it, but pirating an indie game doesn't feel right. But it's kind of interesting to note that notch actually doesn't oppose piracy completely

no paypal =no mincraft

nobody is trying to flame/troll you, they are just trying to tell you that right now it is NOT possible to use large images at backgrounds and they are also telling the different methods/workarounds you can use to achieve that effect/whatever that is. But you are just ignoring their advice and saying that you want to use a big image in construct, if it is not possible how you can do it.

No doubt that construct devs are bright minds but they are not superhumans, they are working on construct as a hobby project. Whine/request about new features when construct goes commercial they'll be working on it full time.

Go back and read the thread again and use your mind how you can implement the ideas others have suggested. If you can't find a way then just increase the minimum specs required to play your game.

blind1992: uhmmm sorry, I couldn't complete the second part of the tutorial because of lack of time( and my laziness). I barely get some time to mess with Construct nowadays.

I was going to post the completed source code but since you've implemented nearly all the features, I don't think I need to, but still if you want you can download it here

(see the last reply on the thread)

I don't think i'll be completing this tutorial very soon so here's the completed source-

has starfield, enemy shoots at you( i am embarrassed to the word AI for this ) and some extra things that I don't remember.

use apppath & "filename.extension"

Edit: oh, and the cap/exe and the file must be in the same folder
