Procedural Map Generation
-
World is generated by using a "Carving-out" algorithm which uses a queue to add tile types to the world
-
With the combination of a maximum number of tiles that can be placed, a percent chance of a tiles being placed, and tile placement regulations, the map produces unique landforms that strongly rely on the tiles around them
-
The map randomly chooses single tiles in the world as a seed for each landmass, then using the queue, each surround tile has a chance of being added to the world; its neighbors are then added if no tile conflicts exist
-
-
Village placement is determined by randomly choosing from tiles x tiles away from the player, and choosing one that does not create tile conflict issues

Event Management
-
Every plains or forest tile in the world use Gaussian Distribution to assign an integer value to each
-
Lower numbers are more common events that include necessary resource gathering
-
Higher numbers are less likely to be reached in the distribution curve, and are include either lore events or extremely beneficial resources
-
-
Every 12 in-game hours, events are recalculated to provide new events the player can encounter
-
Some events only occur a set number of times by tracking an array that has some integer value
-
Events that can occur infinite times have a value of -1 to avoid issues
