diamond-square 0.0.4

A package which can implement and draw the diamond-square in pgzero.

diamond_square

Implementation of the diamond-square. Can draw terrain on pgzero and pygame. Also can set up interactive mode.

Drawing Terrain:

Use terrain = generate_terrain(roughness=..., biome=..., scale=..., size=...) to generate terrain. Once you generate terrain and store it in a variable, the terrain won't draw unless you call terrain.draw(screen).

When you pass in the screen parameter for terrain.draw(screen), this is expecting the pgzero screen or the pygame display surface. For pgzero, just enter screen for the screen parameter. This will have a yellow underline under it, but do not worry because this is what is supposed to happen.

Drawing interactive Terrain:

Use terrain = generate_interactive_mode(size=..., start_biome=..., max_roughness=..., scale=..., start_roughness=...) to generate an interactive scence which the user can interact and change the biome and roughness. Once you generate the interactive terrain and store it in a variable, the terrain won't draw unless you call terrain.for_draw(screen) in the draw function, terrain.for_on_mouse_down(pos) in the on_mouse_down function, terrain.for_on_mouse_up() in the on_mouse_up function, and terrain.for_on_mouse_move(pos) in the on_mouse_move function.

If you leave out any one of these, then it will create unexpected results or fail. As of version 0.0.4, drawing interactive terrains is not suppored by pygame. You can only use this in pgzero.

For the draw function, when you pass in the screen parameter for terrain.draw(screen), this is expecting the pgzero screen or the pygame display surface. For pgzero, just enter screen for the screen parameter. This will have a yellow underline under it, but do not worry because this is what is supposed to happen.
