Side Scroller Map Generator

Hey!
I am trying to create a side scroller game for mobile and I don’t know how to create a BP class that will generate every time new random map and place enemies or traps in random on the map.
Any ideas?

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Well that’s a quite large question you ask there.

There are multiple different approaches beginning from modular pieces of a level which you design and then just put one after another up to a completely generated terrain.
Remember: The more you generate rather than designing and then use it the harder it is to make a decent generation with good gameplay.

For a very easy example on how to do random generation you can check out “Tappy Chicken” from the marketplace (it’s a free demo project). It’s doing exactly that for a flappy bird clone (placing the pillars in different heights to create an endless level).

There are a few tutorials on youtube about how to do very basic procedural generation. For example this one:

I hope this helps you a bit. Without a more specific question this is about all I can do.

Cheers

look at my 2d infinite runner it can help you

Thank to both of you, it’s exactly what I’m looking for. :slight_smile:
