Hex Map Generator

After a couple of year break from doing much programming or pixel art, I decided to start working on a hex map generator. I updated to Godot 4, and figured I'd use this project to learn it. Not a lot to it so far. I've been working out procedurally generating landmasses of varying styles, setting up a mini-map, and spent a lot of time working out hex based auto-tiling. Controls: W,A,S,D - MovementClick the minimap to move to a locationo - Toggle option menum - Toggle minimapScroll mouse wheel to zoom in/out Map Sizes: Tiny - 48x48Small - 64x64Medium - 96x96Large - 128x128Huge - 192x192Giant - 256x256 The larger ones tend to be fairly slow for now, I'll work on optimizing them soon. Don't keep clicking 'Generate'. I haven't figured out how to block input while the system is processing yet. Map Styles: Standard - One large continent with potentially some small islands.Divided - Two relatively equal landmasses side by side.Quads - Four relatively equal landmasses, one in each corner.Lagoon - One large landmass, with an inlet and lagoon in the center.Islands - Lots of smaller island scattered around the map.Random - Let the fates decide. Options: Ocean Border - How wide is the ocean surrounding the map.Land Seeds - The more land seeds, the more land.Coast Roughness - This attempts to break up the coastlines a bit an make them more jagged.Temperature - Make your world warmer or colder. Display Hexes - Toggle whether to show hex border overlays.Toggle Lighting - Turn on lighting and the day/night cycle.Toggle FOW - Toggle fog of war. This allows you to see a greyed out version of hexes you have already explored, however you can not see any NPCs that might be on them.Toggle NPCs - Show or hide all the little NPC critters running around the map. There will be many more options, once I start adding in heightmaps, moisture, terrain, rivers, etc. Feel free to leave any suggestions in the comments. As far as what I plan to 'do' with this, I don't really know. I sort of want to make an exploration 'game' with it. Suggestions welcome.
