I just spent 3 HOURS(!!!) on coding a program that simply DRAWS A HILLS LANDSCAPE and this is what I got. 3h of wasted time.

How was that useless, I guess you learned something from it and will do better next time.

How does it work?

This looks hella dope

I used Python Turtle for it, because I have never experimented with this module. I wanted to make some graphics with random elements and so I came to this little "project"

I only see three more hours of experience, no waste here!

Sin() is your friend

At least you learned how to NOT do it :D

Drawing graphics typically isn't easy depending on how you did it! You did a great job!

Well. 3 hours isn't that bad for what you got: the outlines of some hills. They'd look pretty good when fully drawn.

Be positive, you gained 3 hours of experience!!! You rock!!! I said this to myself every Monday to do not jump to the river before the deadline... god help me

Every developer starts somewhere, make sure you have grown when you have started

If its an array of points then make sure the difference in x-coordinates is somewhat similar or does not go above some variable, so theres no chainsaw hills 😄 besides that you did a great first step in a new module, congrats!

Usually with waves, you should use sin or cos then add some randomness

For experimenting with graphics I recommend Processing if you're not looking for performance. It's really easy to use, yet it's fully capable to do advanced stuff

@lucaIO Perlin Noise. Research it if you haven't already.

This guy does it in Processing: https://youtu.be/IKB1hWWedMk (but maybe you watched this one too) 😅

I think it looks pretty realistic 🤔

@catintroholic Thanks :)
I thin its a bit angular but ok

When I was experimenting with turtle I made a 3d engine in it, overkill? Yes.
Did Iearn much? Yes. So that time was not wasted.
