Procedural Word Generation

[Cybermonkey]

I don't know for sure if we had that topic already but anyway, it's rather interesting. I found this JavaScript code on GitHub: https://github.com/hunterloftis/playfuljs-demos/blob/gh-pages/terrain/index.html
Only 130 lines of code for a nice result. Maybe someone port this to his favourite BASIC ...
I thought about that topic because they will release No Man's Sky soon. Really impressive what they've done. Almost everything (even the soundtrack) is generated procedurally... and as a result there will be 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planets to explore. AFAIK the game consists "only" of 600,000 lines of code.

So, yes, we did have that topic before ... just didn't remember correctly.
