Procedural Generation at Runtime: From Basic to Complex by Example
summary
Shows runnable systems: a downloadable Library of Blabber that uses a Markov chain and string address seed hashing so every book at coordinate X,Y reads identically, a 10-hour prototype Norman Skye that tiles sectors with Simplex noise and pockets of emptiness, and an In Finland rally that builds an infinite road network from a perturbed grid + Voronoi tweaks. Describes performance tricks like origin shifting, GPU plant placement, hairpin generation for steep roads, and where procedural limits became boring or costly.
