Question

I am generating my world (random, infinite and 2d) in sections that are x by y, when I reach the end of x a new section is formed. If in section one I have hills, how can I make it so that in section two those hills will continue? Is there some kind of way that I could make this happen?

So it would look something like this

1221

1 = generated land

2 = non generated land that will fill in the two ones

I get this now:

Is there any way to make this flow better?

This seems like just an algorithm issue. Your generation mechanism needs a start point. On the initial call it would be say 0, on subsequent calls it would be the finishing position of the previous “chunk”.

If I was doing this, I’d probably make the height of the next point plus of minus say 0-3 from the previous, using some sort of distribution – e.g. 10% of the time it’s +/1 3, 25% of the time it is +/- 2, 25% of the time it is 0 and 40% of the time it is +/- 1.
