Yep, i made my submission to 25lines contest just few days ago (right in time
), so (as Sakri did some days before me) I’m publishing my code. It’s an easy terrain generator…
Actually, I think it can be somehow improved both in lines of code and actual performances, so feel free to edit or tell me “you’d better to do that this other way…”
What’s going on is:
- generate a shape filled with a gradient to create a reference color for differents “height”
- generate a perlinNoise everyframe for dataprovider use
- detect each perlinNoise pixel depth according with its main channel value (blue in this case..)
- generating a vector of Bitmaps to be employed in the view

I somehow managed to stay off the computer for the entire duration of MAX, so I only saw this now, well worth the wait! Nicely done, plus, you’ve given me an idea
Now, when the hell are they gonna post the entries?!

Hey there
Found you trough Google as participant of 25lines
Considering some works in final your had chances to ge in to final. Tough may be not much to get further…
Actually it was my first thing to do with Flash 10. 3D plotter
Anyways good luck with future 25lines
