Experimenting with procedurally generating a city map

I developed this on node v0.12.7.

Run npm start and copy the output of into http://geojson.io/ to see what was rendered.

• Add
  • Parks
• Convert all the polygons into lines so the roads are represented in a more intuitive manner
  • Make some roads wider than others

• Log everything
• Iterative development is your friend
• Make everything a param that can be tweaked. Really interesting algorithms can easily be torpedoed by crappy params.
• For once, I actually need to slow down and think about what I'm typing.
• Async is not as helpful here because it's CPU-bound
• An l-system for the grid would be nice because it may be easier to create a data structure where adjacent features are easily accessible. Not having that makes many operations really slow because you end up doing O(n^2) to find neighbors.
  • In general, location-based data structures are important haha!
