tiles-rs

This project demonstrates a tile map generator and renderer built with Rust, utilizing ggez for rendering and rusqlite for storing the generated maps in a SQLite database. It features dynamic map generation, where users can regenerate and store maps with a simple key press.

Features

2D tile map generation with different biomes (Forest, Desert, Water).
Real-time rendering of the generated map using ggez.
Map storage functionality with SQLite using rusqlite.
Dynamic regeneration of maps and database storage with the press of a key.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Rust and Cargo installed on your system. You can install them from the official Rust website.

Installation

Escape: Quit the application.

Project Structure

src/main.rs: Entry point of the application and event handling.
src/map_generator.rs: Contains the logic for generating the map.
src/tiles.rs: Defines the Tile, Biome, and Map structures.
src/db.rs: Handles storing the map in a SQLite database.

Dependencies

ggez: For rendering the tile map.
rusqlite: For SQLite database interactions.
noise: For generating Perlin noise used in map generation.
rand: For generating random numbers and offsets in map generation.
