Plotting terrain pixels with PyGame based on random NumPy array
$begingroup$
I am experimenting with Perlin Noise and random map generation. I have a 2D numpy ndarray full of 16-bit floats called map_list that I call from the singleton ST. It has 900 rows with 1600 elements each. I am iterating through it to display different colored pixels to represent terrain at different points in the map. Array values in different ranges produce pixels of different colors. The total possible range is [0, 1] because I am normalizing the values.
My question is, is there a way to do this faster than I am capable of now?
