Random 2d Terrain

I've recently been doing some research into random terrain generation like what is done in tiny wings. I've looked quite a bit and it seems that a lot of people are interested in this but there isn't really a publicly available solution.

Therefore I give you my new project for Creating Random 2d Terrain!!!



Here is the Web Player Demo of what I have so far.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37459431/Random2dTerrain/Random2dTerrain.html

Here's what's basically happening...

1: A list of y coordinates are randomly generated at equal intervals along the x axis
2: Additional points between these primary values are generated through cosine interpolation to give smoother curves
3: The list of points are taken and used to generate a bunch of rectangles that form our terrain mesh.

Things that need to be done

• Use perlin noise instead of simple random values
• better texture mapping to enable good looking terrain
• Allow for additional meshes to be created at runtime and added seamlessly to the previous ones

It would be sweet if people from the community more awesome than myself could run with this a bit and make it more feature filled.

Here is a .zip of the project file.

Nice!

while ago tried to make something similar to scorched earth terrains also,
but bit stuck on terrain destruction..since its single mesh, would be hard to explode it to small pixel sized pieces..

Here's a great article on replicating the Tiny Wings hills:

I managed to use some of the logic presented, and do a rolling hills demo in GLBasic.
I posted an answer on the Game Development section of Stack Exchange, outlining my technique:

Awesome, but how can I add colider to new genereted terrain?
