[MMO] Dynamically created terrain - request for ideas. | Thudgame on 2009-06-08
- To me, these constraints scream "elevation-aware perfect maze generation algorithm", rather than "fractal". A simple maze generation algorithm that repeatedly places a link at the cheapest transit it can find to an linked zone should work, and should generate believable rivers that fit the above conditions.
- and those which are reachable only by air or water

    Have different types of transit. Unless deliberately isolated, they still would have methods of communication / trade. It just may be that they can travel more efficiently on a river.

- - all road networks on a continent will be interconnected

    Apart from deliberately isolated communities larger than one city?
  - people don't tend to make straight roads

    But they are efficient. Efficiency in the minimization of distance AND elevation change.
  - Merge all road sections with an angle between them less than some critical angle like 15 degrees.
    Tony Bowes on 2009-06-07
    
    The efficiency of walking along a road compared to the surrounds would be able to help give an angle. Through rough, difficult terrain even 45 degrees would be acceptable. Some good work on the tendancy of paths to form across an open square covered in the book "Critical Mass"
