Open world generator musings
I'm having a hard time thinking this setup out. My idea is this: There is a world where each screen is a place on a grid, and there is a variable that randomly picks a playfield for each of those screens in order to build the world.
At the moment, the best I can think up in terms of a setup is having a variable for each possible room on the grid, and a variable that picks out a playfield for that room, so when the player goes to that room on that grid the roompicker variable picks a
Here's an example that uses rand and unrand as described previously to generate an 8x8 world of 64 screens without having to use variables to track what type of screen is in what position.
I also track whether each screen has been visited, and an eye icon shows at the bottom of the screen if the current screen has been previously visited (using the 6lives minikernel to display the icon).
Bad graphics aside, I think this is more or less what you were going for?
