As you have rightly asked, "an interesting question"... I suppose I could start with the most basic (no pun intended) and start with a completely flat landscape. That would be very achievable as it would require only a simple AABB (rectangle / rectangle) collision... But nobody wants a completely flat landing, right? Where would be the difficulty?
Warning. My experience in creating landscapes is based on very old school styles... lol
I have seen many "types" of landscapes drawn... Simple screen-wide set of vertical lines, drawn from the base of the screen to random heights... Similar using vertical rectangles in stead of lines... A single segmented line drawn across the screen with "flat spots" for landing targets... Crafted "png" file of landscape with a "launching" and "landing" pads post-drawn by the program.
The type I would like to use is the "png" option. I would like to use images created for a "Scratch" project from way back. I will try to find an image and attach it... As I am still in the "concept" stage, I have not as yet written any N7 code for the other methods...
