One week experiment: learn how to procedurally generate maps on a sphere. Code is messy but it runs.

This was a 9 day (2.5hr/day) experiment to learn how to procedurally generate maps on a sphere. I hadn’t worked with this type of sphere geometry before and wanted to learn.

Geometry

Writeup - Fibonacci points, Delaunay triangles, Voronoi regions

Maps

Writeup - tectonic plates, mountains, oceans, biomes, rivers, rendering

Installation

To run in devel mode:

yarn global add browserify watchify budo
yarn install
make

Then visit the budo url (probably http://localhost:9966/embed.html).

Alernatively, if you use npm instead of yarn:

npm -g install browserify watchify budo
npm install
make

In production mode, run yarn run build and visit embed.html .
