kinurr / world-engine

A highly customizable dotnet core library that procedurally generates tile-based fictional worlds.

World Engine

A C# library that generates tile-based fictional worlds.

What's this for?

The purpose of this project is to provide developers with a practical tool to procedurally generate interesting worlds which can also be extended and customized. It's meant primarily to be used in games and world-building tools but it can be changed to fit other needs.

Examples

Please note that the examples shown are generated by a debug function meant to quickly visualize a map. Every implementation will have different ways of visualizing maps.

Example 1 - Endless Earth-like

Example 2 - Endless Fractal

Example 3 - Endless Fractal (Lower Frequency)

Current Features

• Procedural landmass generation;
• Saving map to png;
• Build as library;
• Biomes;
• Different noise maps for altitude, humidity, temperature...;

To Be Implemented

• Selective coastline smoothing;
• Scripted formations (rivers, volcanos, icecaps...);
• Spawnrates for objects/entities in tiles;
• Save and restore world state;
