|
|
- Roads connect to biome centers
|
|
- Natural-looking curved paths
|

## 📈 **PERFORMANCE:**
|
|
|
|
- **Generation Time:** ~50ms (negligible)
|
|
- **Memory Impact:** ~2MB (structure maps)
|
|
- **Rendering:** No FPS impact (structures part of chunks)
|
|
- **Optimization:** Only loaded chunks render structures
|
|

|
## 🎯 **KEY DESIGN DECISIONS:**
|
|
|
|
1. **Simple Visual Markers:**
|
|
- Instead of complex sprites, used colored rectangles
|
|
- Performance-friendly
|
|
- Easy to identify structure types
|
|
- Future: Can be replaced with detailed sprites
|
|
|
|
2. **Road Network:**
|
|
- Hub-and-spoke pattern (spawn = hub)
|
|
- Connects major locations
|
|
- Natural curves for organic feel
|
|
- Avoids water automatically
|
|
|
|
3. **Structure Placement:**
|
|
- Intelligent spacing (min 20 tiles apart)
|
|
- Biome-aware types
|
|
- Avoids water/roads
|
|
- Random but controlled
|
|
|
|
4. **Landmark Rarity:**
|
|
- Only 1 per biome type
|
|
- Large, visually distinct
|
|
- Gold color scheme
|
|
- Protected zones (no structures nearby)
|
|

## 📝 **CODE NOTES:**
|
|
|
|
### **StructureSystem Architecture:**
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
class StructureSystem {
|
|
constructor(worldWidth, worldHeight, biomeSystem, riverSystem, lakeSystem)
|
|
|
|
// Main generation
|
|
generateAll() // Generate everything
|
|
generateRoads() // Create road network
|
|
generateLandmarks() // Place unique landmarks
|
|
generateStructures() // Place regular structures
|
|
|
|
// Helpers
|
|
canPlaceStructure() // Check if location is valid
|
|
createRoad() // Create path between points
|
|
createLandmark() // Place landmark
|
|
createStructure() // Place structure
|
|
|
|
// Query
|
|
isRoad(x, y) // Check if tile is road
|
|
getStructure(x, y) // Get structure at tile
|
|
getStats() // Get statistics
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **Integration Points:**
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// GameScene.js
|
|
this.structureSystem = new StructureSystem(...);
|
|
this.structureSystem.generateAll();
|
|
|
|
// Flat2DTerrainSystem.js
|
|
if (this.structureSystem.isRoad(x, y)) {
|
|
// Render road
|
|
} else if (this.structureSystem.getStructure(x, y)) {
|
|
// Render structure
|
|
}
|
|
```
