How do you create an algorithm which will randomly generate hills, caves, trees and stuff like that.

2D world generation
I want it to look blocky like terraria
It completely depends on what you want. How do you want the objects to be spread? Is there a limit? Things like that is the beginning of an algorithm, it's not like waiting a little bit and the perfect algorithm just falls from the sky! :)
i want it to look like the generation for terraria
I have a basic idea of the sort of code I want:
Does that help?
int x=0;
int y=Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(10)*16;
public GameWorld()
{
super(720, 560, 1);
}
public void act()
{
generate();
}
public void generate()
{
if(x<getWidth())
{
for(int i;i<getHeight;i+=16)
{
addObject(new Block(), x, i+y);
}
x+=16;
y=Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(10)*16;
}
}I made som mistakes in the generate method heres a fix:
public void generate()
{
if(x<getWidth())
{
for(int i=0;i<getHeight();i+=16)
{
addObject(new Block(), x, i+y);
}
x+=16;
y=Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(10)*16;
}
}I have improved the generation of the blocks so it is smoother but I still need help generating Caves
heres what I have at the monument:
int x = 0;
int y = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(20)*16+48;
public GameWorld()
{
super(720, 560, 1);
}
public void act()
{
generate();
}
public void generate()
{
if(x<=getWidth()){
for(int i=0;i<getHeight();i+=16)
{
addObject(new Block(), x, i+y);
}
x+=16;
int upDown = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(4);
if(upDown == 0 && y > 48){
y -= Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(2)*16;
}else if(upDown == 1 && y < getHeight()){
y += Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(2)*16;
}else if(upDown == 2 && y > 48){
y -= Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(3)*16;
}else if(upDown == 3 && y < getHeight()){
y += Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(3)*16;
}
}
}I still need help with generating caves in my world
