I know how to make a tiles terrain generator, but I don't know how to make it generate so quickly. Mine has to change x, change y, switch costume and everything, instead of it doing all of that in a split second. What I'm saying is, does anyone know how to make a TTG with it generating really quickly? Thanks!

Yes. Have you ever heard of custom blocks? To speed things up, you could do this:

when gf clicked
repeat (10)
  Draw me some blocks!
end

define Draw me some blocks!
repeat (10)
  //Your terrain generation code.
end

If you make the custom block run without a screen refresh, then the custom block will run once every frame. You'll be drawing 10 blocks per frame, or 300 per second!

There is one niche. If you make the custom block do too much work, it can make the game feel like it's lagging (and then it'll take more time to generate terrain then before).

Does this sound useful?

Thanks so much! I always kept screen refresh on, mostly because I didn't know what it meant. Anyway, thanks! It should work now.

it's easy to generate tiles.
just use this script.

when green flag clicked
repeat (48)
change x by (10)
stamp
    
end
repeat (15)
change y by (-1)
stamp
    
end
repeat (48)
change x by (-10)
stamp
    
end
repeat (15)
change y by (-1)
stamp
    
end

duplicate the scripts so the tiles will move further down.
so say if you wanted to change costumes. just put a switch costume block anywhere in the stack.

when green flag clicked
repeat (48)
change x by (10)
stamp
    
end
repeat (15)
change y by (-1)
stamp
    
end
switch costume to [costume2]
repeat (48)
change x by (-10)
stamp
    
end
repeat (15)
change y by (-1)
stamp
    
end

now you can create tile terrain generators!
