Update 29: Random Levels - Part 3

With the theory done and a solid prototype, it was time to implement the more advanced level creation into the main engine. I started by implementing the 6 tiles I needed, a vertical, horizontal, and the 4 turn pieces. I considered refactoring the pieces so that there were just two tiles and then rotate them to fit, but I realized it would be better to create the extra variation. Here is a screenshot all 12 tiles available now:

I moved my prototype code over to the main engine, replaced a few lines of code that were specific to the console app and generated my first dynamic level with a river.

With that working, I brought in the rest of the tiles (the previous screenshot was just river and a blank tile). The following two screenshots show two random maps with more of the pieces.

I can't begin to explain what a giant leap forward this is for me.
