This is pretty cool! As someone with virtually no experience in this area I’d love to read the source code, is it open source?

A fantastic resource for this kind of generation is here:

http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/game-programming/...

This really brought me back.

I first came across Amit's page in middle school 20 years ago, and studied it religiously until I built a hexagonal grid with A* in Game Maker (which taught me programming from the ground up by studying Mark Overmars' amazing manual).

Today I'm directing an indie game with a team of 10 under me.

The code is not opensource but I've written a few articles about it:

  - Part 1: https://david-delassus.medium.com/procedural-map-generation-in-c-part-1-the-slow-the-bad-and-the-ugly-4445fb15e43a?sk=2ff2c19dc5fe4c706092e83c79c72f56 (perlin noise, then wfc = fail)
  - Part 2: https://david-delassus.medium.com/procedural-map-generation-in-c-part-2-a-new-hope-with-cellular-automata-and-gpt4-6b3b52c6b357?sk=96ab3bb234c28d9f5dc2dca8f2f19f97 (cellular automata, and let's try to use GPT to write the code = GPT is nice, but not perfect I had to refactor the code a lot)
  - My own noise function: https://david-delassus.medium.com/i-made-my-own-noise-function-9e6ce4b95a9c?sk=26c5bdd7687445016216cc0b7cb10fa7
NB: Yes it's on medium, my bad :p The `sk` token in the URL is the friend link to bypass the paywall.
Thank you!
