I've quietly made my LayerProcGen framework public:
https://github.com/runevision/LayerProcGen
It's a framework (C#) that can be used to implement layer-based procedural generation that's infinite, deterministic and contextual.
Nobody else have tried/tested it yet - if you're up for taking it for a spin, let me know how it looks; what's clear or confusing, if you think there's low hanging fruit improvements I could make, etc.
#ProcGen
@lw64 Right, it's designed with that in mind; check out the "using without Unity" page:
https://runevision.github.io/LayerProcGen/md_UsingWithoutUnity.html
And also check out @Sythelux's work on getting the framework and samples to work in Godot:
https://phanpy.social/#/mastodon.gamedev.place/s/112497970064705346
@runevision @lw64 I'm on good track with that, but it will work differently from unity in Godot. I don't have burst and Unity.Mathematics package, so I'm currently building a slow version with Godot Native Array to get a hang on and then maybe switch to the GodotServers pattern (I can tell more about it, if you want).
The Simple Sample is enough to get started and even make your own sample for whatever else so the "framework works in Godot", but the Terrain Sample will take me a while longer.
@Sythelux @runevision I am a contributor to Terrain3D, and in the next version there will be also foliage/instancing features available, but they are already on master, and ready for testing afaik.
The Godot native array thing is about the internals of the framework, right?
ah cool. If you are contributing to Terrain3D could we talk about the C# bindings? The current approach is okish, but the maker of DebugDraw3D (https://github.com/DmitriySalnikov/godot_debug_draw_3d) found a way to generate C# Bindings from code. It would be cool if that exists for Terrain3D as well.
for the arrays I just realised I have to remake that part again. I was using Godot.Collections.Array<T> (the native arrays I thought), but really need to use T[] arrays in C#
@Sythelux I think you mean proton scatter, but that works of course too.
Actually I never written C# code, but it shouldn't be too difficult ;) I can look into your port if you want :)
@lw64 C# can be difficult, when it is a bit of a mess.
I submitted the latest version you can take a look and should even be able to run it. You won#t see anything as it is a heavy WIP, so it is getting stuck somewhere in the code when executing, but the skeleton is there.
