Herbert Wolverson - Procedural Map Generation Techniques

[@henrykkaufman1488]

Dude, that's one of the most useful presentations on game programming I've ever seen.

[@beefwenceworth8275]

I'll second that. It's a goldmine of information.

[@mattsadventureswithart5764]

​@@beefwenceworth8275I'll third it. This was extremely interesting.

[@Zadhompl]

Topic of my thesis is based around procedural generation and this video alone provided enough info to speed up my progress threefold. Cheers, Herbert Wolverson is a living legend in my eyes.

[@Dukkz24]

Would you mind sharing some info on Discord with me by chance? Either personally or maybe some references/material you have on the matter? I'm really interested in starting to learn this topic, but most info is very high level, doesn't really get into the how's.

[@nechalon2477]

@@Dukkz24 you need to start somewhere, a game engine, or no engine, and start prototyping something

Just finished Section 3 of your Rust Roguelike tutorial (decoupling the map from the viewport). It is fantastic. I've learned so much, and I've fallen in love with Rust as a language! Thanks for bracketlib and rltk, in particular.

[@thebracket]

You're welcome! I'm so glad people are enjoying it - I've had a blast writing it. :-)

[@JoeGeorge319]

Man I wish this talk just went for another 30 minutes, very nice

[@reyariass]

That’s what I was thinking! Go an hour! I’d love to hear more!

[@joewilliams8286]

I keep coming back to this one, brilliant resource

[@ZackLivestone]

Solid rapid fire overview, really appreciated!

[@Vedranation]

Amazing presentation. Clean, easy to understand, with great visualition. Thank you

[@jspiro]

This deserves thousands more comments. Thanks for putting this catalog together for us!

[@itsfela]

I always come back to this one

[@naphipps28219]

Another technique I love to use is domain warping with perturb techniques. (Inigo Quilez has awesome articles on these topics, for those interested.)

[@shitheadjohnson2797]

Inigo Quilez taught me about distance field raytracing and i got this amazing procedural terrain out of it in not many lines of code, the problem with it is getting the units on it because it has an instancing problem when i did it. really good indie style

[@arlowicks9359]

Probably one of the best resources online for procedural map generation principles.

[@marcomoscoso7402]

this video and the person explaining are golden!

[@hugobarbachano1831]

Awesome, can´t wait to tinker with this !

[@amitdagan78]

thats was amazing! i feel so inspired right now

[@KoN312]

really interesting and informative. i'm not that big of a programmer, but i tried things like this and played around with rooms and corridors in python and pygame(just some rooms and corridors).. i was thinking way too complicated. the video really opened my eyes how easy it could be if you think just a bit around the corner. thanks!

[@olmrgreen1904]

Awesome video! I've learned so much in a very easy and basic way about things I thought were complicated as hell.

[@pik910]

If you want to make a Voronoi diagram in a discrete space a fast and easy way to do that is to grow it. E.g. for Manhattan distance: draw the border of a rectangle around the seed each step and grow that. You can stop growing an individual seed if no empty pixels were found. That makes it very fast even with a high amount of seeds.

[@bobbob9821]

Giving me the idea to place tile objects first and then do the subtraction with a separate object just saved me a lot of time messing with noisemaps in arrays.

[@Galakyllz]

This presentation was great.

[@RetsaGames]

Amazing talk, makes everything look so simple

[@moosmegens5113]

This helped with my project, thanks

[@nztuber]

Excellent, thank you

[@deepdarkdown]

nice overview.

[@Algorhythmic]

Very useful info. Love the humor as well.

[@lophyre1380]

I do not understand how the BSP leads to no rejection though. We have just divided the map into half a couple of times? 🤔

[@AleksandrK51228ruswi]

Very helpful, awesome!

[@davidxdhloqud]

Esto vale millones! Gracias! :D

[@KiKeoLiVa]

Really great video, thank you!

[@chien461]

Fractal Brownian Motion!

[@thebracket]

That would be a fascinating topic! I'll add it to my (long) list of ideas. :-)

[@darkfrei2]

You can use the DLA-cluster system, but in needs sometimes too much time to generation.

[@oddminngdev9844]

This man is awesome.

[@bordel6121]

Great talk, I learned stuff

[@nighttraveler9993]

Love it

[@markvador6667]

Amazing ! Thanks you a lot !!

[@shitheadjohnson2797]

those voronoi cells might make a pretty floor in doom.

[@MCRuCr]

I'm currently into godot-rust and I love it

[@PabloGaraguso]

Excellent

[@JW-fd8sh]

Is there any source code available for us to review?

[@RobVespa]

Oh, wow. I just bought Herbert's Rust book, which is still in beta...

[@RobVespa]

Nice video!

[@awesomegamedev]

Great presentation with a ton of content! But it starts at 4:00 Thank me for saving you 4 minutes:)

[@jeshweedleon3960]

you are thanked

[@smiley_1000]

Enjoyable Presenter

[@ajinkyax]

Best game dev. And Rust is a great choice

What’s the reasoning behind Python being the preferred rogue like language?

[@huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhn]

I think python is just very popular in general
