Cartridge Tilt - Tumblr Posts

This time Sky’s made a monster: introducing Cartridge Tilt, a random level generator for Mari0 that builds glitchy, corrupted looking mappacks!

It may look like an incomprehensible mess, but this uses a structure-based generator under the hood to give order to the chaos – generating familiar elements like pipes, hills, and bridges, but in completely random orders and positions. Recognize anything in these screenshots?

Seriously, this is over 1500 lines of Lua! You can check out the whole thing on Github, and even run the script yourself with several options: https://github.com/skysometric/cartridge-tilt

remember Cartridge Tilt? i vectorized the logo for a series of icons i'm doing. once all the icons are done, i'll post them in a big colorful showcase!

cartridge tilt never really got the love i hoped it would, from players or from myself – but i still haven't forgotten about it. one day i'd love to come back and rewrite it in Rust, if i find the time and energy... we'll see if that ever happens~

hey remember when i made that corrupted level generator for Mari0? my friend and fellow Mari0 mapper @britdan decided to torture himself with it for clicks
