Meanwhile i got the Evil Eye
also im exploring infinite planet

 

That is a microdungeon. They are placed by using specific points to "test" and see if the envirnment is suitable for it. In this instance, it just so happened that the points lined up to give it the green light to generate. Kinda hard to illistrate.

It is kind of like trying to line up a puzzle piece to see if it fits in a hole, but rather than using the edges of the piece to see if it fits, imagine it only used a few points around it. As long as those points say it is good, it doesnt take into account any potential overlapping thay might occure. The microdungeon will just overwrite all the blocks with its own. And in this case, the part that got overwritten had a few blocks outside of that area, thus you get the floating blocks.

Hope this made some level of sense. Transcribing my thoughts to words is hard for me.

 

I kinda know what you are saying
And thanks for writing it.

 

i am wondering now is... what are the coords?

 

Illustration time!


Lets say you have a microdungeon. For this example, lets pretend it is nothing but air.

So the game world looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/nhPgdCr.png

Then the game needs to place the dungeon, so it begins testing based on whatever testing points it has. So lets say this is where if found to be a valid place to put said microdungeon: http://i.imgur.com/z3D465W.png

The game will then overwrite the existing blocks with those of the microdungeon (Including and blank space, because those are technically blocks too), leaving you with something that looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/yv4QyEf.png

Bam, floating island.

They could put more testing points to make sure this never happens, but then the requirements for a valid location become harder to meet which puts more load on the game to find locations, if at all possible.


Procedural generation is a fascinating challenge to work with.
