New games every week!
In Case of Emergency - WebMaker Blog
15th June 2013
It's Saturday, and I've not really started a game for this week.

Well, that's not entirely true.
I've actually started three games, this week, but all of them seemed to hit a dead-end pretty early on, so I've not really got anything to show for it.

To take my mind off my (so far) week of failure, I instead decided to make a little texture generator.
I figured it'd be nice if I could generate some neat looking repeating textures for use as sprite textures, world backgrounds, wallpaper backgrounds, or other sorts of things.
It's nice to have a varied selection of these things, and even better if you can write a silly little program to generate them for you.
So, I opened up Blitz3D and spent an hour or so twiddling about with some code until I got it making nice little repeating textures like this..


Is it any use to anyone?
Probably not!
But there we go..
In case I don't get around to writing AGameAWeek, this week, you can play about with this little thing, and pretend it's a game!

You can Download WebMaker here.
Fiddle with the settings.ini, then run the program, and it'll make a bunch of random tileable textures.

If you want anything more complex, either open the .bb and scream at my horrible code, or alternatively open the "Tiled" version into a paint package, add filters, grab the middle, and you'll have a better looking texture.
