A chunk is an area of 32x32 Tiles and so it contains 1024 tiles.

Chunks are used for

  • map generation. When the player runs around, he reveals the map, this is done in junks, because memory needs to be allocated, map needs to be calculated etc.
  • pollution. The pollution-model is based on chunks, the pollution spreads to the neighbors.
