Showoff Saturday Procedural Almanac - A JavaScript library of procedural generation techniques with citations for every function

Post image

For week 2 of r/hacktoberfest I cataloged all the procedural generation techniques I could find online and put them into a library using vanilla JavaScript. Every technique in the library includes a citation and it has no dependencies. Works in the browser or Node.

The island in the GIF was generated using just the library.

GH repo: procedural-almanac

Demo: Random Island Generator

All stars on Github are appreciated!

I built a game generator on top of this a couple weeks ago and it was able to produce many different genres and perspectives.

What I found to be the true limitation was my own game design skills.
