Youâve probably heard the term âprocedurally-generatedâ thrown around gaming in the last few years. Itâs fancy tech, which at its most basic level means something thatâs built randomly each time you ask it to be built, but itâs certainly more complicated than that, as content still needs to follow certain rules.
The best way to see how it works, then, is just to see it in action, which is exactly what Boids Nâ Buildings does. Itâs a program that, once activated, designs then builds a 3D city, which youâre free to then move around using a variety of camera options.
Itâs the work of Singaporean animator zz85, who was inspired to create it after a trip to Tokyo, and once you watch it once, imagine this: thereâll come a time in the not-too-distant future when you can press that âstartâ button, watch a city spring to life, then start playing
