Hi...cool game!!

I always wanted to create a similar game using Java2D for better compatiblity, but I found no easy way to code a texture mapper. How have you done this?? That would be VERY interesting for me

Thank You!

Hiho Java2D folks.

I want to create some smooth landscapes in Java, and I found some cool techniques for terrain rendering called procedural texturing. The idea behind this is simple. Just paint an image which represents all the "textures" you want to draw. I adapted this for Java2D and got some nice results.

The "map" image: http://kieselsteini.de/BILDER/bla.png
The resulting map: http://kieselsteini.de/BILDER/result.jpg

As you see, everything which was blue is now water etc, etc, so every color of the RGB Map is "mapped" to one "texture".

This works wonderful, even if the map is much smaller as the resulting rendered image. But I've one big problem. This way I could only display 3 different textures at once. How can I increase this? Any suggestions?

Geetings,
