tileRandomizer.lua - Rudimentary aestheticizer

[Enjl]

Ever worked with a tileset that has multiple options for fill tiles or other shenanigans? Don't feel like placing all those SMB2 LEGOs yourself?
Well...

How to use:
tileRandomizer.register(98, {68, 70, 71})
First argument is the source ID, second is a list of possible transformations. There's, by default, a 1/5 chance that the block gets transformed at all. You can edit the file directly to
-change the chance
-change the seed

Seed, you ask? Oh yeah. This library uses a standalone instance of rng.lua to ensure your level doesn't magically look different on repeat playthroughs. The seed can be any number, so feel free to experiment until you find something that suits your level.

Well damn, i didn't believe this was possible but you just made our lives way, way easier, thanks Enjl.

This is unnecessary. The version of RNG.lua that exists in the maglx3 build lets you generate RNG objects for precisely this purpose.

You don't even need to load any libraries, it's just:

Code: Select all

RNG.new(seed)

Didn't know about that. I presume this returns the rng object and that object can then be used just like the library itself? myRngObject.irandomEntry, for example.

Yep. It's a useful feature.
