Today we'll be taking a brief detour from MicroCraft to explore existing dynamic level generation options in the Mini Micro.

Now that we can generate and view a level map, we need to be able to render the full level in detail and take a walk around. In this video we'll be taking the first step towards making that happen.

The flood fill algorithm allows us to fill any arbitrarily-shaped region with a color (or a pattern, if you are determined to do so).

The algorithm was a mystery to me for decades, until one day I decided to crack it open and see what it's actually doing, which it turns out isn't all that difficult.

I have every level generating at close to 1 second a pop! Come and see what I did! So exciting!

This marks the end of fiddling with the level generator math for now. Next time we talk we'll be digging into the level renderer.

So here's the plan:

MicroCraft needs a complete renderer rewrite. The current system is just too slow, and will always be too slow. We're going to start with the level generator. It takes 7 seconds to generate the overworld, and it just gets slower as you go down. In my next video we're going to see if we can make that faster.

There's going to be lots of algorithm optimization. It's going to be tons of fun.

I've modified the Screen class to directly write to PixelDisplays. It gained us a bit of performance, but we need even more! Today we'll begin looking at dynamically generating tiles to use on a TileDisplay.

The Java code is all converted! Today's video is a bit of a doozy. We'll start by getting the tiles and fonts rendering properly, then get lost in a bit of play testing. The game is beginning to come to life!
