Block Generator Algorithm #107

@E-A-N

Description

@E-A-N
  • Make a layout of the game stage (sort of like map)
    • Use a matrix (arrays nested in an array) for this layouts base data structures
      • Matrix should be 2 separately generated 4 X 14 in sequential fashion
    • Decide the values the represent the different elements in the matrix
  • Make rules for the spacing of the obstacles
    • Obstacles can only be generated above offscreen markers
    • If the Element is a block, it cannot overlap with other elements
      • If the obstacle is a Full Block the next 3 FULL columns cannot generate other elements
      • If the obstacle is a Half Block the next 2 half columns cannot generate other elements
        • If there's a Half Block, the next half block should not be generated for atleast the next 2 columns
      • If the obstacle is a Quarter Block only that tile cannot generate other elements
      • If the obstacle is a pickup then it does not align to the grid.
        • Pickups still cannot appear in block spaces
      • Wipe Matrix Cells when they go below the screen boundry
  • Make rules for the coloring of the block
    • The Next Block (full block) is based on the color pickups that are already on screen (below the next marker)
    • Color Pickups are randomly generated
      • Color Pickups should spawn every 2 to 4 tiles
    • Spawned Colors should be added to an active colors list
    • When a full block is spawned, it can only spawn an attainable color combo
      • An attainable color combo is the potential color of spawned pickups and player colors
