Creating textures on the fly?

Got some simple mockups here (mainly just to encourage me to keep going):
(the flat map below is live from code, it's just the wrapping onto the sphere and the star BG that are mocked up)

Ok, I liked the mockups so much I did some more

Btw, this is how simple my seed map is:

Code: Select all

	std::string quickMap[11];
	quickMap[0]  = ". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ";
	quickMap[1]  = ". . X . . . . . X X . . . . . . . . . . . . ";
	quickMap[2]  = ". X X X . . . . . . . . . . . . . . X X . . ";
	quickMap[3]  = ". X . . . X X X X . . . . . . . . . X . . . ";
	quickMap[4]  = ". . . X . X X . . . . . . . . . . X X . . . ";
	quickMap[5]  = ". . X X . . X X . . . . . . . . . X X . . . ";
	quickMap[6]  = ". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . X X X . . ";
	quickMap[7]  = ". . . . X . . . X X . . . . . . . X X . . . ";
	quickMap[8]  = ". X . . X X . . . . . . . . . . . X . . . . ";
	quickMap[9]  = ". . . X X X . . X . . . . . . . . . . . . . ";
	quickMap[10] = ". . . . X . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ";

to create this:


And these of course can be generated randomly very easily
