Noodles.

Lots of noodles.

Actually, I've added a ton more variation, and things are looking a lot less noodley.

Wait, so, to determine caves, the program used to simulate the cooking of noodles?

* James.Denholm collapses from exposure to the sheer awesomeness.

I originally called it the "wander' function, and it is used to make the roots for waterseeds.
That same function has been raped into making rivers/caves/lakes.

Trust me, it's not in a final state.
At some point I'll make it extrusive only,
 then build a custom function,
 most likely built into the terrain generator,
 which makes ultimate caverns and such,
 with stalactites and columns.


Wow!

Somehow I missed Timmeh's post way up there.

Nice to hear from you Timmeh!
Thanks for the input.
I'm happy to hear that you enjoy it.
Sometime tonight or tomorrow I'll deal with proper water displacement,
 and set it up so that water doesn't count as support.
That ought to do the trick.

Then things will be awesome.

[Outcast Orange]

Ugh. Please somebody read this thing.

I met this guy today.
He was either from the future, or a programming noob.
He kept trying to explain to me things that Java can do,
 which seemed oxymoronic and useless,
 and kept emphasizing that I didn't know how to do it yet,
 but it would help me out a lot.

I don't think he understood how programming worked,
 because he kept saying that it would make my game look round instead of squares.

I really wanted to harm him, then demand he not speak for twenty minutes while I scold him for his stupidity,
 but he just kept insisting that he was an awesome programmer,
 and that if I took the right classes, I would be some day too.
I'm not sure what to think anymore.

He kept saying that Java would make a program that didn't need files to run,
 that could take the external files from anywhere else in the computer and use them.
I'm not sure if he was referring to libraries, or maybe save files,
 but it was making no sense, not to mention most programs already do that,
 especially things written in C.

I was like, "why would I want to put files for my game in random places in my computer?!"
And he replies similarly too, "No, you don't understand. You will eventually,
 then think you were such an idiot."

The part that gave me the impression that he had never programmed ever before,
 was when he saw code::blocks and said, "Oh, a text-based editor. That's good, so you will be able to learn Java or Visual Basic really easily."

Wow.

Like VB is way better than C++. *Face palm*

I don't think he knows anything, but I"ll probably see him again,
 and when I called him out, he just convinced himself that I wasn't making sense,
 then just shrugged it off.

Didn't need files to run?
WTF

Fuck, who was it and where did you meet him?!

[Outcast Orange]

His name is irrelevant.
He is in one of my classes.

[LegoLord]

Orange, I can tell that he is an idiot without even having studied programming myself, just by your story.

What the heck did he mean by round instead of squares?  Isn't that a modeling issue rather than programming?

[Hippoman]

It is not irrelevant. PM me the name. Last name not needed.

[Outcast Orange]

How is this not irrelevant in any possible way?

[Org]

Because it was Hippoman!
What a tweeest.

[Hippoman]

How is this not irrelevant in any possible way?

Because I happen to know several idiots such as that.

[Outcast Orange]

What are the odds we know the same person from RL?
Silly Hippo.

I never said real life. You're skipping around the answer.

Oh noes!
Its Orange's Clone brother!
Exiled Eggplant.
What a tweest.

"He kept saying that Java would make a program that didn't need files to run,

Well, java can run from a browser, right?
And it isn't like some of those other languages like gamemaker and others where loading images and stuff is generally unused or even fully nonexistant...

But I might be misreading that.

Did he even understand what he was saying?

The files and text-based editor parts makes me think that if he had any experience, it was with a highly visual game engine, as well as high school basic, and java from some other course. More likely, he heard about those languages from someone else who had actually taken them...
