A tile engine with procedural generation.

Tile explorer is a tile based engine with procedural generation, it uses a 15x22 area with each block being 22 pixels high and 22 pixels wide. Its procedural generation uses simple pick random () to () statements to determine a blocks type then it stamps it onto the screen and adds it's type to a list. Tile explorer has another function, predetermined zones or as they are called in the program: Caves. Caves are predetermined zones that can be read and printed to provide a way to make dungeon like areas.

However!
The current version is extremely buggy and can break in many ways.
Here are a list of known bugs:

Enemies spawning over the boundaries. (Attempted fix, unsure of current state)
Cave lists being diluted if copied over and over.

If you discover any other bugs please post them and what caused them.

Even with the bugs it is able to perform its function normally most of the time.
The game is being constantly updated and I would love your feedback and suggestions!

Nice,

I was trying to do the same sort of thing for a maze generator but i gave up when i realized i needed to keep info on the past like 2-3 layers of the maze.

Yea, with the cave system I'm thinking of implementing a way to find what other cave lists are suppose to be nearby maybe by adding another item to the end of the list containing the names of the other cave lists name and what side its on. If it works you could make huge predetermined maze systems.

The auto-padding update

29/9/2017: Version 0.48 out now! Auto-padding now patched in, press p to toggle auto padding. Auto padding uses the last block id used to pad everything the editor walks over.
Also: press and hold K to see what auto padding is set to, 1 is on and 0 is off.

Sorry for not updating in a while, I had a 7 day scout camp to go on.

New update coming soon might finish it when I get home the main feature in this patch is an improved auto move system.

I've finally finished the 0.5 version of tile explorer! This update includes an updated version of auto step that should be much more useful then the last version. A possible thing that could be in the next version will be revealed soon…

maybe you can use my engine https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/343639868/ really all you do is create a clone then make the height random

If you want nearly instant terrain generation, you should try putting the terrain generator in a custom block, and ticking the option run without screen refresh.
