Hi,

I've open-sourced my map generator used for this server http://www.buildandshoot.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=5239.

Hi jdrew,
Here is a sample map: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/541786/sample.vxl
You can find some picture on Github https://github.com/p0nce/vxlgen

I take my hat off to you sir.
well done

Thanks. It was very fun to do. Now I have a lot more respect for the people who actually master procedural generation like in brogue or Dwarf fortress.

@Thepolm3, for now the server is a sort-of randomized 1ctf + grenade teleport but I would be interested to hear what game mode idea you come up with.

Hunted.
each player has only one player he can kill, and only one player that can kill him.
Run away from your hunter and go kill your prey
Been sitting in my mind for a while

O-O should be scary as hell
A variation would be to keep teams so that regular kills are possible, but only prey-killing making points.
For the labyrinth it would need messages "<prey> is at floor Z, coordinates X, Y, you are at floor Z2, coordinates X2, Y2
(EDIT or perhaps better with directions like north/south/west/east)

:) that would be killer

Code: Select all

def intel_spawn_location(self):
    loop = 0
    while True:
        AREA = 24 
        x = randint(255 - AREA, 255 + AREA)
        y = randint(255 - AREA, 255 + AREA)
        lvl = randint(0, 10)
        z = 3 +  6 * lvl
        z = 63 - z
        loop = loop + 1
        if (loop < 1000): # detect infinite loop (never happened yet)
            if self.map.get_solid(x, y, z):
                continue
            if self.map.get_solid(x+1, y, z):
                continue
            if self.map.get_solid(x, y+1, z):
                continue
            if self.map.get_solid(x+1, y+1, z):
                continue
            if self.map.get_solid(x, y, z-1):
                continue
            if self.map.get_solid(x+1, y, z-1):
                continue
            if self.map.get_solid(x, y+1, z-1):
                continue
            if self.map.get_solid(x+1, y+1, z-1):
                continue

        self.send_chat("The intel spawned " + level_to_floor(lvl) + ".")
        return (x, y, z)

Seems quite redundant.
Why not just have

Code: Select all

def intel_spawn_location(self):
    AREA = 24 
    x = randint(255 - AREA, 255 + AREA)
    y = randint(255 - AREA, 255 + AREA)
    lvl = randint(0, 10)
    z = 3 +  6 * lvl
    z = 63 - z
    self.send_chat("The intel spawned " + level_to_floor(lvl) + ".")
    return (x, y, z)

or even

Code: Select all

def intel_spawn_location(self):
    x,y = randint(231, 279),randint(231, 279)
    lvl = randint(0, 10)
    z = 63 - ( 3 +  6 * lvl )
    self.send_chat("The intel spawned " + level_to_floor(lvl) + ".")
    return (x, y, z)

It's not pretty but how would you avoid to spawn the intel in a wall then?

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 10:00 am**

Code: Select all

def intel_spawn_location(self):
    x,y = randint(231, 279),randint(231, 279)
    lvl = randint(0, 10)
    z = 63 - ( 3 +  6 * lvl )
    while self.map.get_solid(x,y,z):
        x,y=x+randint(-1,2),y+randint(-1,2)
    self.send_chat("The intel spawned " + level_to_floor(lvl) + ".")
    return (x, y, z)
