Question by WaveryDavey · Nov 29, 2017 at 03:59 PM · 2d grid destroy object terrain generation

Grid Based Block Generation

I've been working on a 2D Terraria like game for the past couple days. I've already built a surface chunk(terrain) generator.

Is it a better idea to:

develop a grid system and automatically generate the chunk(terrain) over top of it

OR

to give each individual block it's own destruction function with an object for placing any other selected block behind it?
