Terrain Generator App
Hello everyone,
I have recently made an app called “Wargame Terrain Generator” that I think others will find useful with their Warhammer battles. It is only available on the Google Play store at the moment, but if there is interest I may bring it to other app stores. Below is a quick description of the app.
****************************
Are you tired of playing your tabletop wargame on the same old boards that are inevitably created by each player alternately setting up pieces of terrain wherever they choose?
The Wargame Terrain Generator aims to fix this by creating random placements for terrain that will create unique boards that players can't purposely design to get a tactical advantage. This app was designed with Warhammer: Fantasy in mind, but can be extrapolated to work with other tabletop gaming systems.
****************************
You can learn more and download your copy here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... nGenerator
An iOS version is currently in development, so apple users just need to be patient until I can release it.
Be sure to share it with your friends if you find it useful

Re: Terrain Generator App
I would totally use this for iOS. One of my pet peeves is when you roll up an interesting piece of terrain and my opponent just puts it way over in the corner where it will never impact the game.
Is there a way to remove certain options from the "terrain pool"? For example, my group always rerolls snake eyes and boxcars when rolling up terrain.

Re: Terrain Generator App
Yes in the options you can specify the odds of each piece and you also have the option to limit the amount of each type. So say you only have one piece of hill terrain you can set the maximum amount of hills that will show on the battlefield when you generate it. In your specific case you could remove those options completely if you so wish.
Re: Terrain Generator App
It looks like an cool app, going to test it out at my gaming club
Edit: an thought, have a setting for each senario in the rulebook that uses a terrain piece? Watchtower, Storm of Magic and T&T games?

Hey, for those with a BlackBerry running BB10.2, you can get the app from 1Mobile app store. Worked fine on my Z10.

Re: Terrain Generator App
Any update on iOS plans for this? I could easily see myself using this in the same way as battlescribe--where I tested with the free version, but then upgraded to the pro version after I decided it worked for me.

Re: Terrain Generator App
An ios version is planned but has no set release date. To develop for ios you require a mac computer, which I do not own. I am working on it and will let everyone know when I am able to release it for all the ios users.

Re: Terrain Generator App
I know it is a lot of work, time, and probably $. I just wanted you to know that there continues to be interest if you were considering monetizing it! I will now be patient.virusgames wrote:An ios version is planned but has no set release date. To develop for ios you require a mac computer, which I do not own.

Re: Terrain Generator App
Hello everyone this is "lost user 4", it seems like my account was lost in the update that happened here a little while ago.
At any rate I have some good news for the Apple iOS users out there. The Wargame Terrain Generator is now available on the app store!
Search for it on the app store or follow the link below to get it:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wargame ... ?ls=1&mt=8
As before, feedback is very welcome.

Re: Terrain Generator App
Downloaded! And quickly played through several settings. Initial impressions are that I found it really simple to use. Was able to completely remove some options from showing up at all which was ideal. Also being able to adjust the "columns and rows" is very nice as it can allow you to get very specific terrain placement.
Hope to test it in setting up a game next weekend!
