This reminds me of the awesome interactive visualization of random distributions found on https://bost.ocks.org/mike/algorithms/#sampling https://bost.ocks.org/mike/algorithms/#sampling That link refers to it as Poisson-disc sampling and offers several really easy to grasp visual explanations of the algorithm and the end goal, as well as working code.
