It’s been on HN a few time before but Townscaper by @OskaSta on twitter is also brilliant. He’s worth following as he documents the development of the projects he’s working on, currently a new island generator. Really interesting intersection of algorithms and art. Often shares other peoples work to thats super interesting, I have a feeling he may have retweeted something about this city generator but not sure if it’s the same one.
I discovered Townscaper a couple weeks ago. It’s relaxing to play with and I have been enjoying building a reproduction of Mont-Saint-Michel...until yesterday when I ran into a limitation in the iPad version. :( According to Oskar’s reply, I can get either the height I need or the width I need, but not both. https://twitter.com/moreartyart/status/1493073923251994628?s...
I wonder if these limits actually do some client-side performance analysis, or if they just have all iOS devices hardcoded with those low limits. An iPad Pro is likely significantly faster than a whole lot of laptops used to play Townscaper.
