The green dot represents the player and the green square just makes him easier to find. The biggest difference isn&#8217;t visible, its in the underlying code. This takes more than 10 times as long to draw because its actually being saved into an array ready for the actual game. Don&#8217;t even ask how long this took me, I&#8217;ll just say it was harder than writing the actual generator (at first I was trying to save the JFrame contents to a BufferedImage and then analyze that).<\/p>\n <p>TL;DR: I&#8217;m THIS close to rendering a proper sprite sheet here and not just white dots <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/p>\n <div id=\"attachment_470231\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/randomarraygen.png\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-470231\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/randomarraygen-300x286.png\" alt=\"Also, I have no idea why that blank spot is showing up\" width=\"300\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/randomarraygen-300x286.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/randomarraygen-550x524.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/randomarraygen.png 1019w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Also, I have no idea why that blank spot is showing up<\/p><\/div>","time":"July 17th, 2015 8:04 pm","title":"Random dungeon generator (part 2)"}
