I also enjoyed his similar series on generating a procedural city: https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=2940

That was an amazing read as well. I really wish the internet had more game-programming-for-beginners or whatever you might call them style microblogs.

Shamus will be missed! RIP.

I didn't know he had passed away. While not what's being discussed now, DM of the Rings remains one of the funniest comics I've ever read.

I ported his code to a macOS screen saver back in the day, but I see I haven't updated it since macOS 10.6… I guess the chance of it working on a Apple Silicon Mac isn't anywhere near 100% :P

A sort-of port for the wab can be found here: https://art.muth.org/pixelcity.html

Oh wow, that came out when I was in university. I often think about that series of articles and the little tricks and techniques he used to simulate the feeling of a city at night - almost entirely via artifice and very little intentional design. I always found these dirty little tricks in graphics super interesting.

Man that’s a blast from the past
