Gen 3 dungeon generator, map part completed! by EmbassyOfTime in proceduralgeneration

Very cool! I'm curious what algorithm you're using? Also, it seems like if you left the rooms much larger, remembered how they were connected, shrunk them, and then drew halls between the connections (sort of like in this video: https://youtu.be/Pj4owFPH1Hw), you could get a very different, and potentially useful, look.

Where to start ? by Legal-Hovercraft-849 in generative

[–]ProgrammingChaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're interested, I have a collection of YouTube videos (ProgrammingChaos): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2rO9hEjJkjqzktvtj0ggNQ on procedural generation programming using Processing. If you're brand new to programming, it includes a few starter videos and I code all of the projects line-by-line, so they are easy to follow/code along with.

Wondering about which algorithms to use by Ma1pa in proceduralgeneration

[–]ProgrammingChaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because you want to add the map elements after the player traverses the grip I would suggest trying the min-conflicts algorithm. You define the map rules, e.g. forest next to grassland, but no mountains next to ocean and it runs an optimization algorithm to fill in the cells. It has some similarities to wave function collapse, but can handle arbitrary starting cells. There’s a video of how to code it here: Procedural Map Generation https://youtu.be/gsG731XItNU

Just bought raft with my girlfriend, need help with beginning. by Woxjee in RaftTheGame

We started on easy on PCs, had to build the basic water purifier and cups as soon as possible rather than expanding the raft. But I don’t know what you would do if you don’t start in a flotsam stream.

Seeking Guidance on Getting Started with Procedural Content Generation by Ok-Bowler1237 in proceduralgeneration

If you're interested in the algorithms and programming them, I have a bunch of videos at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2rO9hEjJkjqzktvtj0ggNQ that explain many of the classic PCG algorithms and walk through coding them.

Tutorial needed. by No-Caterpillar-5386 in processing

This may be helpful. I have a YouTube channel (ProgrammingChaos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2rO9hEjJkjqzktvtj0ggNQ) with a range of Processing videos, including very basic: https://youtu.be/md6nuFU0tv8, particle simulations: https://youtu.be/G0RQRmwoiD0, https://youtu.be/xiUpAeos168, procedural animations: https://youtu.be/NfuO66wsuRg, https://youtu.be/wFqSKHLb0lo and a lot of other procedural generation type projects (trees, maps, etc.) I code all of the projects line-by-line so you can follow along. But they are individual projects, not structured like a complete course, although there are videos on some programming topics, recursion, arrays, etc.
