How is the terrain generated? about adarkroom HOT 6 CLOSED

It's all in world.js, in the function generateMap() [line 620]. Basically,
it starts from the center and spirals around, choosing the type of each
tile based on a roll of the die. The probabilities are modified based on
the existing adjacent tiles to make biomes "sticky" (ie, a tile that is
already next to a forest tile will be more likely to be a forest).

Hope that helps! I can go into more detail if you'd like.

I was extremely jealous of your terrain generation (not the cities, caves,
mines, etc, but the woods, grass, and plains), so I looked through the
code, but I couldn't find anything much. Can someone point me to where the
code for the generation is or tell me how it works?

Is it sticky just to the tile that was placed last, or to all tiles surrounding it?
Thanks for your help!

All tiles surrounding it that have already been placed. Usually, that's two.

OK.
Also, does this mean it's a two-dimensional array?

map[World.RADIUS][World.RADIUS] = World.TILE.VILLAGE;

from adarkroom.

The entire map is stored as a two-dimensional array, yes.
