Generate 2D terrain like hill climb racing / tiny wings ?

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

I work at a bike game with libGDX and box2d, i want to generate my terrain dynamically.

Something like the hill climb racing or tiny wings terrain, and I need it like in parts, one part would be a Array List of points…

When the bike is close to the end, i’ll create another part, etc.

Something like this

Do you guys anywhere to find to do something like this?
The terrain should not go back.

You can use 1D perlin / simplex noise.

Or just generate a few random numbers, and smooth them out, and interpolate them afterwards to create your terrain.

#3

Generate a few random points, (optionally you can apply some smoothing) use cubic bezier to get a nice curve and then sample your path with your desired resolution. You can use the result as a box2d shape for physics and as a terrain to render. :slight_smile:

Thanks, i’ve succesfully did this.

Not bad, but you would get smoother looking results if you would increase the distance between your generated points on the x axis, or if you would generate less points. Increasing amplitude could also help in getting that hill-valley look.

I think that it looks not smooth because of libgdx shaperenderer that is not smooth , if i texture my terrain it will look smooth :smiley:

Did that just happen?..

Someone asked a question, listened and got it done. You are the 1% lol.

Haha it happens!

Hi Fainosag,

I am also making such a game, how did you make this irregular type of 2d terrain?
What tools did u use for making this?

Dem bike seems a bit springy :smiley:
