Terrain Generator
To build terrains I created a tool that...
-
Creates a random heightmap based on multiple values provided by a terrain profile Scriptable Object
-
I created multiple terrain profiles to have types of maps as Rocky island, snowy mountains, etc.
-
-
Assigns heightmap to a Unity Terrain
-
Modify terrain borders to keep it under water and give an island look
-
Paint terrain texture procedurally based on height and surface orientation
-
Terrain resolution is adjustable by user quality preferences
Terrains can be modify in real time by bullets, bullets use custom height textures to create craters
Terrain combination can be stored by storing the random seed value
Single Player Challenges
Designed and coded 5 different mechanics and made challenges with all the combinations of them, resulting in 31 challenges
Tank AI

-
Choose a target placing the player as a low priority target
