But right now I'm working on a much smaller project which will not need to be nearly so complex as DF. I myself am looking for ideas and information on how to do some of the things that Dwarf Fortress does. They might be able to direct you to material that explains geophysics and the likes, but I think that ultimately it's up to you to figure it out. How you do it is up to you and in my opinion, asking someone to tell you how to do it is like expecting TGB to have a 'Make game' button that does the entire thing for you. You could create a bunch of smaller, predefined areas and put them together like Legos or a mosaic. and pseudo randomly places those underground (depending on other factors such as Biomes). Back to Civilization VI The map is the world on which a game of Civilization VI takes place. Dwarf Fortress's underground materials come in small clusters, large clusters, veins, etc. Roguelikes randomly generate rooms connected by paths and sometimes use pre-defined rooms. But try to think of other types games in which that is done and look for some source code. Alone or with up to three friends, sneak.24.

Generating a GOOD map based off a seed, with some realistic features (as opposed to completely random tiles) is the hard part, because it requires your algorithm to be fairly complex. When the residents of stertrn wake to find robots on the rampage, winning becomes living. And that's it in a nutshell.īut of course, generating a map based off a seed is relatively easy. Then, if you want to be able to generate the same map every time with a given seed, you need to set your random number generator's seed to the seed. To create a map based off a seed number, you need to design an algorithm using random numbers to generate your map.
