You should organise the thread a bit. I'm sure there's lots of good info here, but there's not much motivation to, or efficiency in, trying to go through stuff here. I know you called the thread "dump", but it would help.

Look at how resources are organised here, for example.

---

Anyway, some stuff I've found in the last few days, which I'm not going to double check if they were already posted in here, precisely because of how unorganised it is... I'll try to organise it the way I think organisation should be done, to offer another example...

Starting points

• PCG — procedural content generation wiki
  
  • PCG algorithms — ways to generate procedural content
• Roguebasin — mainly focused on roguelikes but has widely applicable resources
• VoroWiki — devoted to Voronoi diagrams
• @redblobgames — lots of good procgen stuff in general on this Twitter account

Terrain and level generation

• 2D
  
  • BSP dungeon generation — connected rooms in dungeons or houses
  • Cellular automata — generate caves and the like
  • Polygonal map generation — voronoi as a basis for organic islands
  
  
• 3D
  
  • Terrain from noise — lots of interactive examples + instructions
  
  
• 2D and 3D
  
  • Midpoint displacement & diamond-square algorithm — fractal terrain, mountains and valleys
    
    • Diamond-square algorithm — clearer explanation than the somewhat confusing one above

Programming resources

• C++
  
  • libnoise — noise library
  
  
• Python
  
  • opensimplex — noise library
  
  
• JavaScript
  
  • simplex-noise — noise library for JavaScript

EDIT:
Added new links from my post below.

It will certainly have a reboot using this one as archive when I finish significant duty on my side, which will takes some time. In fact I will start a personal project specifically gear toward implementing procedural stuff so I don't have to stretch myself thin.

Don't worry about this state, the next one will be better, this one is the dump so we have at least a unique place to know the source exist.

[oahda]

Good! I guess I'll keep adding any new stuff I find (and I've found some!) fully formatted to my list above so that you can at least copypaste that pre-formatted into the next version without having to do all the work yourself. c:

Some of the new stuff I found:

Polygonal map generation — voronoi as a basis for organic islands
Terrain from noise — lots of interactive examples + instructions

@redblobgames — lots of good procgen stuff in general on this Twitter account (author of above two articles)

libnoise — noise library for C++
opensimplex — noise library for Python
simplex-noise — noise library for JavaScript

[gimymblert]

Thanks then : )

VoroWiki — devoted to Voronoi diagrams (and not the Voro/Võro language!)

http://www.creativeai.net/

In recent years, there has been an explosion of research and experiments that deal with Creativity and A.I. Almost every week, there is a new bot that paints, writes stories, composes music, designs objects or builds houses. Projects cover a wide range of disciplines — from machine learning, music, writing, art, fashion to industrial design and architecture. We call this phenomenon “CreativeAI”.

CreativeAI.net is a space to share CreativeAI projects. Countless links to CreativeAI Projects are floating around the web. It’s hard to keep track of these gems. CreativeAI.net attempts to solve this problem by offering a collaboratively curated feed of projects. Each project is conveniently presented as Link + Media + Tags + Discussion. People can submit their findings and let the community discover and discuss it. A regular newsletter makes it easy to stay up-to-date on recent advancements. It’s free and open.

Nice! Those automatically appearing sliders in the debug interface after introducing new shader variables were great too. I need something like that.

[Polly]

I need something like that.

They are using imgui

Hah! The one I just found and am about to integrate myself.
