Simple finite, 2D terrain generation for use with Godot's 2D TileMaps

Generate a "natural-looking" 2D, finite terrain on to a TileMap

Usage

To try out the terrain generation scripts in your own project, pull in the following files:

• point_path.gd
• terrain.gd
• terrain_generator.gd
• terrain_generator_config.gd

You can then generate a terrain by calling the TerrainGenerator class' generate_terrain function, optionally with a custom TerrainGeneratorConfig. The generated terrain can then be 'rendered' on to a TileMap according to whatever biome construction and decoration tiles are wanted.

A concrete example of this can be found in the GeneratedTerrainTileMap.gd script.

The code base uses typed GDScript, so it should be easy to pull in to most projects, including Web-focused ones.

Demo

This repo contains a fully functional demo that can be used to explore how the available generation options can affect the terrain. The demo uses the following controls to view the terrain:

Input	Description
Mouse Movement	Move the center focus point of the camera
Mouse Wheel Up	Zoom in to the terrain
Mouse Wheel Down	Zoom out from the terrain
Q	Regenerate the terrain and recenter the camera

The demo is the default scene, so simply opening the project and hitting "Run" should work out just fine.
