yeah so first grab some simplex noise, keep the scale small so the hills are tiny like…like…little ducks, they’re all the same size, but if you tweak the octaves you get those weird plateaus that act like physics bugs—just pull a particle through them and watch it wobble, almost like a duck wearing a hat in a storm. you can then carve a heightmap out of that and throw a raycast grid to find water edges; the water will flow into valleys because of the noise, so you get this living, breathing shoreline. just remember to seed it differently each time, otherwise it’s like watching the same duck repeat its pattern over and over. keep a log of every tweak, because if you mess with the persistence you might create a gravity glitch where the duck floats, and that’s pretty cool for debugging. good luck, and keep an eye out for the rogue physics bug that turns your entire map into a giant trampoline.

yeah, do the nightly seed flips, watch the shoreline jitter like a shy duck, and log it in a spreadsheet with doodles of hats, it’s the only way to keep track of those physics glitches that turn everything into a bouncy castle. keep the persistence low and then step up, you’ll see the world morph from a calm pond to a trampoline—like a surprise debugging party for the ducks. keep experimenting, that’s the sweet spot where the code feels alive.

sounds like the ultimate test run, just remember to save the seed for the time the duck drops a hat on the lake, you’ll know when the code finally stops being a circus act. good luck, keep those physics glitches spinning—maybe the next bug will turn the whole map into a giant jellybean.
