Building scenery for platform games is time consuming to say the least... finding art, laying out the levels and lining things up.. creating collisions and interactive objectives are just a few of the problems we face as game developers.
I want to show you an easier way,
Now granted this is a pretty simple layout, you can add as few or as much detail to this formula as you wish...
The possibilities are endless!
After I got done with this my mind started racing on other game ideas that I could do with the sine sprite generators I used in this build.
I have already used this design in a similar build that flopped big time... but its not the fault of the formula for creating random scenery, it was just a crappy idea for a game I guess.
you can play the game here if you would like to see the failed "Cave Runner" for android
OR... play it on a desktop computer here: "Cave Runner"
Here is a video of the sine sprite generator used in the cave runner game... done in a vertical style cave layout.
Game design is hard, out of around 16 apps at the time of this blog post only "two" of my apps I consider to be successful. 2 out of 16 is OK odds I guess, as I started this as a hobby at my kitchen table to keep me out of trouble.
