PythonHeightMap

implementation of the diamond square algorithm to generate a height map and a biome map

Requirements

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Viewer : Generate static chunks

python3 height_map_generator/viewer.py [depth] [coef]

• depth number of occurrences of the algorithm (starts to be very long from 8)
• coef maximum height difference between two blocks side by side

While the window is open you can use :

• p to smooth the chunk
• u enable/disable the coloration by height
• i enable/disable the coloration by biome

Discover : Generate a world

python3 height_map_generator/discover.py [depth] [coef]

• depth number of occurrences of the algorithm (starts to be very long from 8)
• coef maximum height difference between two blocks side by side

While the window is open you can use :

• directional arrows to move around the map and generate a new chunk
• p to smooth all the chunks
• m to regenerate the current chunk
• u enable/disable the coloration by height
• i enable/disable the coloration by biome

TODO

• rework the display system
• reword code to upgrade general performances
• add a seeding system
• save the current window to an image
