I built a suite of C++23 header-only libraries for procedural character generation
Hey all, I've been working on a set of C++23 header-only libraries for procedural generation and figured they might be useful to others working on games, simulations, or world-building tools. Everything is MIT licensed and on GitHub.
The idea is that each library handles one slice of generation: names, cities, countries, birthdays, physical traits. They can be used standalone or composed together through an entity-generator that wires them up as components.
Here's what's in the suite:
- name-generator: First and last names from 105 cultures, frequency-weighted so common names show up more often. Ships with lite (~2 MB) and full (~39 MB) datasets.
- nickname-generator: Takes a name or word and runs randomized transforms on it (leetify, case variations, animal/adjective word lists).
- country-generator: Random countries with 31 fields (capital, region, languages, currency, borders, etc.) from aggregated open data sources. Population-weighted by default.
- city-generator: ~200k cities from GeoNames with coordinates, timezone, population, elevation, and admin1 state/province name resolution.
- birth-generator: Demographically plausible birthdays using UN population pyramids, monthly seasonality by latitude, and weekday deficit modeling.
- biodata-generator: Physical traits (height, weight, BMI, eye/hair color, skin type, blood type) based on published epidemiological data, varying by country and sex.
- entity-generator: A component system that lets you compose all the above into complex entities with typed dependencies, validation, and lifecycle hooks. Has adapters for EnTT and Flecs.
All of them support deterministic seeding so you can replay or persist generation results. They're header-only, just drop the .hpp files and the resource data into your project and compile with -std=c++23.
I also put together a live WebAssembly demo where you can try everything in the browser. The "Persona Generator" tab composes all six data-driven libraries to generate a full character profile: name, nationality, city, birthday, age, and physical appearance.
If you have questions about the data sources or the design, happy to answer. Feedback and issues are welcome.

A quick question for All the worldgen Heads
I wanted to make a 2D worldgen that uses Dynamic sizing for World borders, so the worldborder doesnt Limit the Form or size of the structure.
Instead i wanted to Limit it by structural requirements and a budget (in my case a Pixel Budget) - so a larger map would have a bigger Pixel Budget. The structural requirements would be for example, Single Continent, multiple Continents,...
Whats the best way i can go for this kind of worldgen where the Form isnt limited by the frame size? Should i just increase the size of the frame/worldborder, Limit the Pixelbudget to my liking an then cut the rest? How does this scale if i increase the pixelbudget? At some point it would be hard to Cover all possible forms/structures, no?

online triangle mesh height map editor, suitable for phone?
II think t will be a lot quicker to iterate experiment than entering the values by hand; though a triangular mesh is probably a bit unusual.
On a phone (with termux), so can't use Unity or Unreal (I'm sure they have editors).
I could probably code one, but would end up being a project in itself, adding features fixing bugs, tweaking GUI etc.
I tried one, but said it preferred a desktop and crashed my phone.
Thanks for any help.

I stopped scripting events and started programming laws.
Here's what a world looks like when it runs without you.
I was watching the log scroll at 2am last night when lineage L-a15bba02 went extinct. Born at tick 30,470. Dead at tick 130,046.
I didn't do anything. I was just watching. That's kind of the whole thing I've been trying to build.

Most games start with content. Maps, enemies, scripted events. You write what happens. I got tired of that. I wanted to write the rules and see what comes out.
So no scripted extinctions. No designed species. Just energy, mutation, selection pressure, and an anomaly field that messes with everything. The organisms do what they want with that.
Right now this world has 913 living lineages. 1,673 have already gone extinct. Nobody programmed any of those arcs. They just happened.

That feed on the right, every alert is a real event. No triggers. No narrative beats. A lineage's alive count hits zero and that's it. Species gone, the data remains, nothing else.
What still surprises me is the divergence events.

A subpopulation drifts genetically far enough from its parent that the system classifies it as a new species. I set the threshold but I never pick when or where it happens. Most of the time it doesn't. Occasionally it does. Tonight one happened at tick 130,348 while I was writing this post.
I don't know if "emergent" is the right word for any of this. Maybe it's just slow simulation. But it feels different from generating content. Generated content sits there. This stuff keeps going whether I'm looking or not.
The world literally runs when the game is closed. I've left it for whole nights and come back to find the ecosystem in a completely different state. The journal tells me what happened. Most of it. Some things it didn't record.
Engine's called NAGAS. Been working on it for a while. There's a game coming on Steam built on top of it, won't link it here because that's not really the point, but happy to answer questions about the tech: NumPy vectorization, genome encoding, the weird non-euclidean anomaly diffusion that I'm still not sure is a feature or a bug.
