Map

Map Overview

The map encapsulates all tiles (types of sand and water) that the player roams while in the game. In response to feedback, the design for the map has shifted from a grassy island raised out of the water by cliff-sides, to a beach-like terrain, with water surrounding all sides of the island. The main functions the Map needs to achieve are the following:

• Simulate an Island that the player can walk around on
• The player must not be able to leave the island (walk off sand into water)
• The island needs to be able to expand, increasing playable area
• The island needs to be able to shrink, decreasing playable area
