Stateless shader based on Phacelle Noise. Video compression makes it pale; it looks better in the Shadertoy: www.shadertoy.com/view/tXGcWR

I'm not going to GDC this year, so here's a little talk for free - on a thing I want to share before I forget how it works.

I made a directional noise type I call Phacelle Noise which is pretty fast!
Is it new or does something functionally identical already exist? I'm not sure! But I didn't come across one like this yet anyway, so here's my findings:

I'm pondering if I could add a "ladder" puzzle element to my procedural game, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the implications. I need to be able to represent things as a dependency chart for the generation algorithm to work, and this ladder makes it very difficult.

I implemented a memory overlay effect (10 secs into the video here). As the level designs get more complex, it's nice to be able to see the general direction of snapped memories without always having to open the map.

Still up to my cellular automation. Managed to get ZipperMakers by Ben Schaeffer to work, first try even!
I'm making a CPU implementation alongside my compute shader one since I may need both. Comes with big advantage - I don't have to do shader debugging before I know the algorithms are correct

I've overhauled my puzzle level generation so a level is now "grown" like cell tissue in a triangle tessellation. New elements can be inserted anywhere, and the whole level deforms to make room. This makes it easier to control topology and create paths that loops around areas.

A bit of Sunday fun. My smooth transitions from graph to world didn't work as well once the world had elevation, because the positions of things would no longer line up. I've fixed that by scaling* the world up vertically as part of the transition.
*Actually messing with the camera matrix.

Adding heights to the landscape adds a lot to the feel of these little puzzle levels, and I'm happy with how the procedural terrain turned out. It feels more and more like a proper game.

Improved my precipitation algorithm - now it doesn't always rain, but only when water vapour content is above threshold - which means I can visualize clouds! Honestly I didn't expect it to look THAT realistic 🤩

Whenever I use @desmos.com I find myself really wishing it had a mode that allowed multi-character variable names. Yes, it would make it impossible to multiply without a multiply sign, but I would gladly make that trade. I can't remember the meaning of 6+ arbitrary letters in my head simultaneously!
