Creating A Random Map generator (Top Down)

OriginalPerson

I am in the process of making a randomly generated top down game, its a maze and will have enemies and * which i can do but the problem is making the map actually make itself, i have the concept of cloning and changing the position above, below, side to side but it does not work and i would like some help. I can give a more detailed explanation if you can help and here is the game:

That project is not shared.

If you put “maze” in the search box you will see all kinds of projects and tutorials about maze games and how to generate a random maze.

Not exactly what you wanted

The closest thing I can think of is changing the pixelate by a random number.

You can make a bunch of costumes for the maze, then make a variable called “maze chance costumes”. Then, when green flag clicked, set maze chance costumes to: pick random 1-10, or how many costumes for the maze you have. Then, you can say if “maze chance costumes” equals 2, switch costume to maze 2 or something like that. That way, every time you press the green flag, the costume switches from costume 1-10, and if you make a lot more, then the costumes will rarely be the same.

Here is an amazing idea on how to do it.simply make different maps or pieces of land and for example if player reaches a place that map is picked randomly.here is the code

when green flag clicked
forever
if <> then
(x position)<[] = []>
switch costume to [(pick random () to (10)) v]
end
end

 put this in your play button
when green flag clicked
if <touching [mouse pointer v] ?> then
broadcast [ touched v]

end

when I receive [touched v]

switch backdrop to [Backdrop name here v]
