This is a tool to generate infinite landscapes by combining noise artifacts. You can use the editor to create a world and use the library to import it to your own application. Opus prototype offers you a way to easily describe landscapes (like seen in Minecraft) with values that are based on pseudo random noise algorithms.
A mac and windows build of the editor can be loaded here: http://nuke-the-moon.itch.io/opus
A short preview / tutorial of the functionality: https://youtu.be/3owuS5VRnAM
This library is used for the game: http://nuke-the-moon.itch.io/alien-ark And for the game: http://nuke-the-moon.com/pioneerskies/index.html Created by www.nuke-the-moon.com
For more information about Opus Prototype read the documentation: editor/data/docu/index.html
This repo was released in a hurry. The library is work in progress.

To load a chunk of a saved world you have to import the base library opuslib-0.0.1a.jar and opusloaderjson-0.0.1a.jar to read the json format.
// create a loder for json files
OpusLoaderJson opusJsonLoader = new OpusLoaderJson();
byte[] bytes = opusjsonLoader.readFile("worlds/NewWorld.json");
// load opus based on a saved world
Opus opus = opusjsonLoader.load(new Samplers(), new Algorithms(), bytes);
// create a chunk at x:0 y:0 with the standard resolution 1
Chunk chunk = opus.createChunk(0, 0, 1);The chunk now contains a map of height values. The instance of opus contains layer and interpreter information.
