Thankyou micha, now i understand what you mean by using flood-fill in this context. I still cant quite work out how to incorporate this into my code though; so i should put the results of these checks in a separate table, adding the values 'connected' to all each of the points in its pointer[x].link...

Ok, with the help of a very kind person on #love, i've come up with a better system for connecting the points. however, it is still possible for clusters of points to be disconnected. i.e. there are parts of the map that can be inaccessible to the player. how can i check for this and ensure it doesn...

That's kind of it. I've managed to get a system for generating points (with a bit of help) that works quite well. The problem at the moment is working out a way to draw lines between these points that ensures they all connect (but not necessarily directly connect). thanks for the pointer though, i a...
