Map Generation (placeholder name)

I wanted to make a simple game where NPCs are played by LLMs. Then I needed a map to put NPCs in. Then I needed a procedural map, biomes, procedural cities, procedural NPCs, procedural quests, procedural everything.

Structure

• world_viewer lets you generate and explore a world in a TUI

  Start with cargo run -r -p world_viewer

  Keys:

  • arrow keys to move
  • enter/backspace to zoom in/out
  • ctrl will speed up movement

  Chunks are generated as the player moves

• world_gen is the world generation crate It also provides a binary that generates images for different parameters of the biome generation as well as the biome map.

  In order:

  • Biome map
  • Temperature
  • Moisture
  • Continentalness
  • Erosion

  

  Start with cargo run -r -p world_gen

• game_core is the core logic, provides the Map type.

• llm_backend is the bridge to LLM APIs

Checklist

• Procedural biome generation
• Terrain generation
• Procedural city generation (don't know how to place cities yet)
• LLM backed NPCs
