Modularize flower generation

Yep, looks like you did.
EDIT:
I realize a lot of my graphics are on the more unusual side. I wanted to push the boundaries at the start. If I do more, and I'd recommend it to someone else doing more-- should probably fill out the middle of the bell curve with more "conventional" flowers.
Also I'll probably try my hand at palettes once there is an easy way to preview the results.
Also #2 these graphics should work if you implement randomly skipping either the base, middle or blossom layer. Of course a plant without a blossom is less interesting.
.... looks like you are doing a good job in this area to me ... keep up the good work 
I havent put much thought into it, but as for now things work this way : each sprite is in an individual 32x32 image named this way : fl_a_01.png (for example) the letter a is the layer, and so it's the same for all sprites of the same layer, and the end number is individual.
@ glasz ....Could this be used (now) to set up plants to be placed in the oceans/rivers when they are ready

Thanks Metouto for the documentation. Yes, having some underwater vegetation and fauna could be cool, and as for the flower generator it would just need some specific underwater sprites and a little tweaking. Making a java version of the generator is on my todo list, and i hope i can make something people can play with, to try sprites and colors and stuff.
Let me push this a little little bit .... if this can be set up for flowers, plants, and underwater vegetation .... could one use it for blocks, doors, buildings, assortment etc etc .... by adding different sprites parts or/and colors ..... I know ..... I know ..... to much pushing & to much to hope for ????
(it is ok to put me back in the other room and tell me to be quiet)

That's an interesting idea, actually. Whole buildings is another topic (like the grammar system from Skaldarnar or Cities from msteiger ) but as an example procedurally generating door texture variants using the same approach - could probably work? Door handle sprites, decoration sprites, window pieces, hinges, etc
Might be trickier to get the right feel stylistically than flowers, but there's probably a way. Like generating one set of door textures for an elven village and a different one for a human village.

Very nice work, glasz. I wonder how we can integrate this into the game. If I get this right, you create 2D textures using python code. Is that correct?
Anyway, we could create a new Flower module and put a large variety of plants in there. What do you think?
There already a few examples here:
Definition: modules\Core\assets\blocks\flora\
Textures: modules\Core\assets\blockTiles\plant
The NameGenerator module already has support for flower names
It would be nice to have some of these flowers in the garden of some houses..

Hey msteiger, thanks
Yes, we use some base handmade sprites and combine them with code and color them with a shader.
I used python for prototyping, since i didnt know java, im only starting to learn it. The idea would be to port the code in Java so as to have a flower generator in TS, and use it to procedurally generate the vegetation, so each world would have flowers sunseen in other worlds, with specific properties. I'm supposed to do the Java porting eventually, probably in JMonkey first for a test applet, and later hopefully in TS. But i havent taken the time yet, so it's on hold for the moment...
