I’m about to commence a day of work now that all my other coursework commitments are out of the way but I thought I’d start by updating my neglected blog with an update of where I’m at. I haven’t done much but I have a pretty solid foundation for laying the roads and some nice joining algorithms. Anyway, probably best explained through the power of pictures:
Generation with buildings off and grid pattern disabled
Generation with Buildings on and grid pattern enabled
As you can see in the photos I have already achieved one massive technological leap that no other procedural generator can lay claim too: I’ve fashioned the ugliest GUI known to man.
Joking aside it is very early days, the buildings may look nice but if you really look close you’ll see they’re far from perfect. They bump into each far too much and are often stupid shapes.
Today though is not about the buildings, today I’m going to get the roads joining up in a nice manner.
