ProceduralWorld

Author: Taylor Driggs

Start Date: 8/18/17

Description:

This project was originally intended to be a procedural city generator but I decided that in order to have procedurally generated cities, I needed a procedurally generated world. Currently, the world generates using a Voronoi diagram and pulls from OpenSimplex to generate noise to use as the base of the randomization.

Goals:

Eventually, I would love to move to spherical Voronoi diagrams and turn this into an actual planet. Before I do that, however, I need to nail down elevation, biomes, rivers, etc. There is still a lot of work to do before that point. I also want to switch from pygame to actual OpenGL graphics, but I'm not really too worried about that yet.

Sources:

Most of my the logistics including the graph structure and the use of Voronoi diagrams came from this site. I don't follow all of the standards that are set in this blog post mainly because I want to write the code myself and push myself to optomize it my way. Also, it uses ActionScript, which is something that I really don't want to dive into at the moment. I'd much rather stick with good'ol'python!

Usage:

If you want to download this project and modify it and use it yourself, feel free to! I recommend using virtualenv to set up your workspace. Also, I know there are some problems right now with scipy and its spatial package. I believe it is due to not having the qhull library properly installed and linked on my machine. I want to avoid doing that though, so I'm am currently on the lookout for a better Voronoi diagram and convex hull library; or maybe I'll just write my own!

If you need to contact me for any reason (questions, recommendations, etc.) feel free to message me here on GitHub or email me at taylor.a.driggs@gmail.com.

About Me:

I am a junior in the Digital Simulation and Gaming Engineering degree at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, OH. I currently work at Zebu Compliance Solutions, also in Portsmouth, OH as a database engineer. I'm still learning a lot about professional software development, so if you notice bad practices in my code, please point them out!
