Voronoi Tilemap Concept

This is a prototype/proof of concept demonstrating the use of an irregular tilemap using voronoi cells to represent natural terrain. It was made in late 2020 - early 2021 using the Godot engine.

The terrain has hidden height values that are procedurally generated, and that determine the relative brightness of the tile, as well as line of sight calculations for which cells/tiles each unit can see. This line of sight algorithm is used for the 'fire' command you can give your units, as well as for exploring unexplored tiles, and determining fog of war.

Units also move and use their fire action by spending some of their stamina, which they regain half of each turn. The distance between the center of two cells, as well as the incline or decline can both modify the stamina cost of moving a unit between cells/tiles, as well as whether a forest is present.

The hit rate calculations for the 'fire' command are based on the distance to the target, the size of the target, as well as if any obstructions are in between them that grant cover (such as forests).

There are many UI elements that are unused, so you should mostly only pay attention to the health and stamina meters of a unit in this prototype.

Enemies do not perform actions, this is mostly a prototype to test the tilemap mechanics as well as how the UI interacts with it.

Controls:

Right click & drag mouse: pan camera

Scroll Wheel: zoom in and out

Hover over cell/tile: view terrain details (currently mock values)

Hover over unit: view unit details

Left click on allied unit: select unit, keeping it's details in the bottom left

Escape: exit the current order mode (move or fire)

Left click on empty cell/tile: move the selected unit to the clicked cell if it can reach that cell

Left click on enemy unit: fire at the clicked unit with the selected unit if it can see the enemy

UI Buttons:

Move button (green arrow): begin moving with the selected unit

Fire button (gun): begin firing with the selected unit

End Turn/ Deploy: end the turn or end the deployment phase
