What framework or program with low level control to create procedural games with?
I want to make procedural simulations and procedural games, but I only know of game engines like unity and godot or writing vulkan code myself. Is there a better way with low level control but less boilerplate?

Generating Houses / Floor Plans
Hello,
I am trying to generate floor plans for houses procedurally. I need this for a small game.
My idea is basically to create houses from a few rules. The rules are something like. There is always a first floor. Second floor and basement is optional. There are room types that can only spawn in the basement, there are other that have to always be included and there are is a large pool of optional rooms. Then there are special optional rooms that can only be next to some other rooms.
As an example: There is always a bedroom. A bedroom CAN have an optional wardrobe room and/or a bathroom. Or another example there have to be a living room and a kitchen. But they can as well be put together into one large room.
I will make such rules for all my rooms. But from here i have no idea how to procede. I could just use BSP but then the rooms will be to much like a maze and all rectangular. Or i could just make a hallway and generate rooms next to it. I also have the problem that the house has to have a layout. So the second level can not be much larger than the first one. But then again when i generate the floor plan first, and then decide how the rooms are placed in the layout, it could result in not enough space for all rooms on one of the floors.
For now i think BSP fits best. But i dont know how to solve the problem with the hallways and how to make the houses look natural. I also dont want all houses to be a rectangle.
Does anyone have some tips for me?

At twenty steps rivers are already forming and I have not yet programmed the water to carve the ground. Interesting... This model I started in Blender just playing with Geonodes, and now I have 'ported' it to Python. I am keeping it on a GPL 3.0 Licence and will share the Git repo in future.

consistently distort voronoi edges
I am creating an endless voronoi city using threejs. So far, all i can calculate is whether a given vertex is a road or a city block. it looks like this:
https://preview.redd.it/df3g159ios8c1.png?width=1447&format=png&auto=webp&s=7bed235e081f49d6510e066b6e2f37b81a1ffec3
i want to distort the roads using perlin noise, so they are windy rather than straight. However, when i try to do this (by adding a perlin noise generated value to the x and y of currentVertex), it seems to mess up the road width. I need the road width to stay consistent.
Here is my script. What is the best way to make my roads curvy?
export const getVertexData = (x: number, y: number) => {
const gridSize = 300;
const roadWidth = 20;
const currentGrid = Math.floor(x / gridSize), Math.floor(y / gridSize);
var points = ;
for (let ix = currentGrid0 - 1; ix <= currentGrid0 + 1; ix++) {
for (let iy = currentGrid1 - 1; iy <= currentGrid1 + 1; iy++) {
var pointX = math.seedrand(ix + "X" + iy);
var pointY = math.seedrand(ix + "Y" + iy);
var point = new THREE.Vector3(
(ix + pointX) gridSize,
(iy + pointY) gridSize,
0
);
points.push(point);
}
}
var currentVertex = new THREE.Vector3(x, y, 0);
points.sort((a, b) => {
var distanceA = currentVertex.distanceTo(new THREE.Vector3(a.x, a.y, 0));
var distanceB = currentVertex.distanceTo(new THREE.Vector3(b.x, b.y, 0));
return distanceA - distanceB;
});
var closest = points0;
for (
let ix = currentVertex.x - roadWidth;
ix < currentVertex.x + roadWidth;
ix += roadWidth
) {
for (
let iy = currentVertex.y - roadWidth;
iy < currentVertex.y + roadWidth;
iy += roadWidth
) {
var nearbyVertex = new THREE.Vector3(ix, iy, 0);
points.sort((a, b) => {
var distanceA = nearbyVertex.distanceTo(new THREE.Vector3(a.x, a.y, 0));
var distanceB = nearbyVertex.distanceTo(new THREE.Vector3(b.x, b.y, 0));
return distanceA - distanceB;
});
var neighborClosest = points0;
if (closest != neighborClosest) return "road";
}
}
return "block";
};
Edit: while noise-based curvature is preferred, if it's way easier to curve the roads with a sine wave rather than perlin noise, i am open to that option as well.

How do these tools generate these floor plans?
I should start off by saying I appreciate these are complex demos, so I'm not looking for an end to end breakdown. But I am curious to hear any insight anyone has.
A couple from Finch 3d: first, second
One from PlanFinder: here
I am particularly curious about:
- Constraining key objects in a room (e.g. a bed) by the room size. Notice how in some of the examples, the beds change from double to single to accommodate room size
- Resizing a wall doesn't cause an entirely new arrangement, leading me to believe this isn't randomly densly packed items. For example, Finch's first video has a kitchen table in the middle bottom room which seems stuck to the left wall but resizes as necessary. Eventually disappearing.
- Both plans seem to not rely on "room types". PlanFinder turns the room into a studio when it's small enough, and Finch has an open plan kitchen that is affecting the amount of sofa chairs.
- They are both very fast indicating to me the resizing is causing incremental updates (rather than a full recalculation of positions)
Anyone have any insights into the techniques that may be being used here? The person behind Finch mentioned their patented graph technology. But I'm not entirely sure I understand what that implies from a technical standpoint.

Procedural planet with Unreal Engine 5
Hey guys.
I made a small project with Unreal Engine 5, experimenting to see what's possible for a space game. And here's the result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp2xak-ISVE
The technique used is the inflated cube technique, I use a quad tree for LOD, and the nice atmosphere is using the built-in UE Sky Atmosphere.
Let me know what you guys think of it !

Procedurally generated mazes with hexagonal or square grid cells in my game Steinstern - check out the demo!
Hello, i'm making a game (a top-down space shooter) that features proc-gen maze levels.
here's how the generation currently works:
1. in the beginning of the generation a maze is created by always picking a random cell and break the walls to one of its neighbors.
2. when all cells are connected the path from the start cell to the end cell is checked to meet a certain threshold. if not, generation is restarted from the beginning.
3. doors are then added along the 'solution path', attempting to be spread out equally based on the sizes if the 'rooms'.
4. random walls get deleted in the rooms (only if they do not connect to another room)
5. locks for the doors are added in each room at positions far away from both doors.
i'm quite happy with the results. the mazes offer a good amount of variety and every level feels fresh with often times unexpected (but fun) results.
at first i only had square grid cells and recently added hexagonal cells, which play even more interesting, i think.
Please check out the preview of my game and let me know what you think about it (just speak up, i think i can handle it)
