Diamond Square
Implementation of the Diamond–Square Algorithm. This package can draw terrain on pgzero and pygame, and can also set up interactive mode.
Sample Generations
⚠️ You MUST include all four interactive functions for pgzero interactive
Missing even one will cause failures or unpredictable behavior.

Why Use diamond-square?
This package provides a complete implementation of the Diamond–Square algorithm with:
-
Fast rendering of the Diamond-Square algorithm written in C.
-
Multiple built‑in biomes.
-
Adjustable roughness and scale.
-
Support for pgzero and pygame.
-
Optional interactive mode.
-
The ability to save generated terrain as an image.
-
Functions to add or remove biomes dynamically.
It is designed for both experimentation and game development, making terrain generation simple and customizable.
Usage
Pgzero Terrain Example
Go to /sample_codes/pgzero_terrain.py
Pgzero Interactive Terrain Example
Go to /sample_codes/pgzero_interactive_terrain.py
Pygame Terrain Example
Go to /sample_codes/pygame_terrain.py
Pygame Interactive Terrain Example
Go to /sample_codes/pygame_interactive_terrain.py
Image Saving Examples
Go to /sample_codes/save_terrain.py
Custom Biome Examples
Go to /sample_code/custom_biome.py
Requirements for Pgzero Interactive
For Pgzero Interative Mode, it requires all four of the following functions to be placed in their corresponding pgzero event handlers:
terrain.draw_func(screen)
terrain.on_mouse_down_func(pos)
terrain.on_mouse_up_func()
terrain.on_mouse_move_func(pos)
If any one of these is missing, the interactive mode will:
-
fail to update correctly
-
behave unpredictably
-
or stop working entirely
These must be placed in these functions in pgzero:
-
def draw():→terrain.draw_func(screen) -
on_mouse_down(pos):→terrain.on_mouse_down_func(pos) -
on_mouse_up():→terrain.on_mouse_up_func() -
on_mouse_move(pos):→terrain.on_mouse_move_func(pos)
Versions
