Inspired by procedural generation in Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress, I built a tool that lets you design and explore procedural worlds without writing code. Read about it here: ijdykeman.github.io/procedural_gen…

A writeup of the algorithm behind Generate Worlds. It’s a fast, constraint-based #procgen technique. ijdykeman.github.io/procedural_gen…

Working on an instant radiosity implementation. It approximates global illumination by emitting new lights from existing lights and bouncing them around the scene before fixing them to a new surface.

Visualization of instant radiosity: the dots connected by lines represent light bounces and the new lights they create. Larger dots are more powerful lights. The small red points indicate voxel grid locations that were queried during a bounce. Images are aligned left to right.

Using a strategy similar to Isaac Dykeman "generate worlds algorithm": very inspired by!😃 more controlled #wfc alternative? 🤔

That’s a great idea. This would let you do things like guarantee that certain structures always face certain cardinal directions. E.g. roads that only go north-south or snow only on one face of mountains.
