Procedural terrain generation can help any game more replayable. In this coding challenge I create a 2D terrain generator that uses Perlin Noise to determine the tile type at each location.
Perlin Noise is a type of noise that can take in numerous inputs to create an output, in this case we feed it the coordinates of each tile and it returns a value between 0 and 1. This value is then mapped to a tile type.
The really cool thing about Perlin Noise is that coordinates close to each other are given similar values which creates pretty organic looking terrain!
