Pros of worldengine

• More comprehensive world generation features, including climate, biomes, and erosion
• Active development with recent updates and contributions
• Extensive documentation and examples for users

Cons of worldengine

• More complex setup and usage compared to terrain
• Slower generation times due to additional features and calculations
• Steeper learning curve for new users

Code Comparison

terrain:

def generate_terrain(size, roughness):
    terrain = [[0 for _ in range(size)] for _ in range(size)]
    # ... (diamond-square algorithm implementation)
    return terrain

worldengine:

def generate_world(seed, width, height):
    world = World(seed, width, height, num_plates=10)
    world.set_elevation(0.1, 0.9)
    world.set_ocean_level(0.65)
    world.generate_plates()
    world.generate_terrain()
    return world

The code comparison shows that terrain focuses on a simple terrain generation algorithm, while worldengine offers a more complex world generation process with multiple steps and customizable parameters.

Pros of Craft

• More interactive and game-like, allowing real-time exploration of generated terrain
• Includes additional features like inventory management and block placement/destruction
• Actively maintained with recent updates and contributions

Cons of Craft

• More complex codebase, potentially harder to understand and modify
• Focused on voxel-based terrain rather than heightmap-based terrain generation
• Requires more system resources to run due to its real-time 3D rendering

Code Comparison

Terrain (Python):

def diamond_square(size, roughness):
    terrain = np.zeros((size, size))
    # ... implementation details ...
    return terrain

Craft (C):

void create_world(int p, int q) {
    int pad = 1;
    for (int dx = -pad; dx < CHUNK_SIZE + pad; dx++) {
        for (int dz = -pad; dz < CHUNK_SIZE + pad; dz++) {
            int x = p * CHUNK_SIZE + dx;
            int z = q * CHUNK_SIZE + dz;
            float f = simplex2(x * 0.01, z * 0.01, 4, 0.5, 2);
            int h = f * 32 + 16;
            int w = 1;
            int t = 12;
            if (h < t) {
                h = t;
                w = 2;
            }
            // ... block placement ...
        }
    }
}
