Hey all!

I recently created a tool to autogenerate the Gores map in teeworlds. I did it just for fun and to see if I can do this or not.

So here are the results:
The map generates the puzzle automatically. Each time the puzzle is new. All you need to do is to set the map size.
You can test it on our KoG test server (Password is "KoG" in case someone doesn't know). Map names are "tmp1" and "tmp2".

This is only POC, but here are the results:

Example #1: Example #2:
And now the main question:

What can I do with it now? xD

I created it just for fun, but maybe someone has any idea where the autocreation of the map can it be useful.
I already had thoughts to apply random gores parts on a map and regenerate it each time the map is voted. But the idea is already implemented in Q-KoG-Portal map and it does absolutely the same.

Please, share your opinion.

now!

Could be useful to add some midground design spice

Make a gore fight server where you can join with some people, wait until a new round starts, then a new map is generated and you race to the finish. next round, new map.

Yeah with multiple difficulty levels which differ in mapsize and how thin the gores is.

You could predifine parts and put them in a random order (needs as many different parts as possible, maybe from popular maps?), so that you get more linear and interesting maps. This could be used for competition then, as deen said.

Oh, and make it open source please! I don't know if you have a fork for KoG, but I'd welcome a tool like this in the ddnet repo. I'm always annoyed when I read about cool TW projects a few years later and the binaries are gone (or have security vulns.) and no source code is available anywhere.

Pls make this for hammerhitparts and hammerflyparts too hehe

Maybe we can vote for the best parts of the 20 or what most played maps and then make a tourney with some quick rounds of 5 random parts. First finish will automatically vote a new combination. Any round will only be about 5 to 10 minutes long.

It is currently on POC stage, but when I finish, for sure I can share the source.

its a bit hard I guess.

This is an interesting idea. I'm not sure if such server going to be popular, but its a good direction to think about. The only "but" here is that it is very boring to play such simple map. Its only down-up-left-right.

That is what I meant when wrote the post, maybe I chose the wrong words to describe it.

It will require much work to hardcode the stages. Anyway, its an interesting idea too.

You mean to create an empty map to be able to fly to the finish? xD
