Procedural World Generation | How does it work?

Learn all about how 2d Procedural World / Landscape Generation works in Paper Minecraft, Scratcharia and Terraria Stamped. We cover the stages - land formation of dirt, stone, and ores. Generate natural Cave systems, Grow grass, vines & trees, flow water and illuminate the scene with light. This is just an overview to help Scratchers understand just what was involved in creating these awesome random sandbox levels.

Griffpatch is really just giving away ALL of his secrets these days :3

I have made several games in Unity using perlin noise to achive procedural generation, but I have always wondered about how you can do it in Scratch. The idea of using the brush to create noise maps in genius! Thanks for the video!

[Super-qrwm]

This man is slowly creating a beastly generation of genius coders

"in this video I made terrain generation similar to expert teams and did for free while doing it in a engine meant for children"
is basically the title

[elvingpierre]

Great tutorial! I like the concept of learning the theory before you code it, so you understand exactly what you're doing!

[SileyCone]

Amazing as always, Griffpatch! Deserves more recognition.

I've been looking for a good introduction to random generation and this is really the best one out there. It's quite easy to understand al of the steps. Thank you for taking your time to make this!

[macronas]

I wasn't expecting this, I was expecting a platformer tutorial but this also looks interesting!

[johnpn]

This is amazing! I suggest you do more explanation videos like this. It's really helpful!

[BoioBoio]

What would I do without my beloved scratch terraria 😭😭
Keep up the great work man❤️❤️

[Thyflooder]

yea, finally some random generation, each lesson is adding on from the next. (Its amazing, great job giffpatch)

[calmguitar]

Not only do you make the best tutorials but you make them so fun to watch as well!

[thegreenhoodieguy]

This video is super helpful! People have been trying to add Minecraft updates to Paper Minecraft (some of them are really good), but now we can actually make our own games because of this tutorial!
Thanks for this!

[morveman_yt]

I cannot wait the next terrain generator tutorial 😭
So good video !!!

[Lisandroxd]

I hope this doesn't have too many grammatical errors (because I'm using Google Translate) because I don't speak English, but I wanted to thank you. I started working on my own minecraft paper when your first (Mario) platformer tutorial came out, and I already created most of the things you explained, and I'm proud that I could have done it before you released this video. Take care of yourself and keep it up, and sorry for the text so long :)

[ShiftClickLearn]

Wow, this is quite spectacular! I've always wondered how you did the world generation. I have always thought you just used perlin noise but the way you did it is much simpler! Awesome video as always!


Also, it feels weird hearing your voice and seeing something other than Scratch (Like Photoshop in the vid)! xD

[gunjantutorial]

Atlast with the amazing tutorial! I was waiting for that!!

[nonexistence]

Thanks for showing us how minecraft works, keep your render distance up!

[tronchecake]

This video made me want a Griffpatch let's play channel with narration and stuff

[kvahn]

I remember when I was smaller and I played a griffpatch game on scratch, and I wanted to create my own, so I did try to. Eventually I moved to HTML then Javascript and Python and am now trying to learn Java. Thanks

[TwinProductions]

Nice tutorial, and congrats on 300, 000 followers!
