My first idea is inspired by Conway’s Game of Life, which has these black boxes that are randomly generated with certain rules in mind, also creating patterns in the program itself. The landscape itself would be generated through a similar process to that in Life.
I was browsing ideas for generative landscapes, and I came across Matt Felsen’s generative trees, which I found similar to ideas that were previously discussed in class that I also found to be very intriguing. I will probably develop a web of sorts that develops in a matter similar to that in Matt Felsen’s work.
Computer-generated mountains are a concept I found ofen when researching for inspiration, and I want to develop a landscape of mountains that isn’t just still, but also moves around and changes values for the points of the mountains to simulate moving waves.
