Procedural Generation Advanced

Advanced Procedural Generation is the art and science of using algorithms to automatically create complex game content, terrain, dungeons, quests, items, even narrative. Rather than manually designing every level, artists and programmers write algorithms that generate vast, varied, and coherent content. Examples: Minecraft's infinite terrain (Perlin noise), No Man's Sky's galaxy of planets (algorithmic generation), Spelunky's roguelike dungeons (rule-based systems), Dwarf Fortress's entire world simulation (complex interweaving algorithms).
