  • Blob Tileset
    #game-development #math | With two different types of edge and two different types of corner, we have 2^8 or 256 different tiles in a complete tileset. (...) Generally though 256 tiles is too many to produce and use. However, there is an interesting subset of 47 tiles, known as 'Blob' tiles. So called, because each tile has a central 'blob' of land or carpet, aulthough tile_0 is often depicted without for artistic reasons. These can be used to tile room, terrain or carpet areas.

    Tilesets are a big source of inspiration for me given how they can "bring to life" a simple 2D array of numbers and make it look like a "place". Combine that with a tileset editor and you can literally paint locations!

    Guy Walker's website is my favourite resource about various approaches of tiling. It is currently offline but luckily there's a mirror available courtesy of Boris the Brave.

  • Kaboom: an unusual Minesweeper
    #game-development #math #projects | Normally, the arrangement of mines is decided at the start of the game (except for some trickery so that you cannot lose on the first click). But what if there was no pre-determined arrangement, and the game was allowed to choose after you play?

    Such a creative use for a SAT solver!
