experimenting with colored RGB lighting. Light no longer flows as a singular value down the gradient but as a collection of red, green, and blue values, which can easily be modified for different colors to drop off first or be more prominent

few tweaks

original vs AI

there are levels to graphic design

Ricky Remodel thingymajiggy

adding grass outline wrApping. was a lot more difficult than expected

troubleshooting

added lighting. ripple effect is due to how the lighting works - tiles check adjacent tiles light level, and if its greater, they increase their light level by a set fraction of said tile.

few sample Seed values. terrain is entirely based upon seed value. biomes are created based upon humidity, temperature, and elevation, all of which are generated by noise

Moonlight

Branched off to a side-scrolling version of the tile engine. Lighting now uses set transmission levels per tile, with heavier materials dampening the light and less heavy materials such as dirt allowing more light to phase through
