  Hah, thanks for that! :D That would be fun, alright. Completely off topic, I just got Tarn Adams' latest book (procedural storytelling) today. I'm looking forward to reading it when I get time.

    I've added that book to my list of possible reads. I must say I am actually disappointed that it doesn't appear to have been written in an algorithmic fashion.

      At a quick flip through the pages, it also doesn’t cover that much in terms of technical details, code or diagrams, but seems to be mostly a discussion of techniques and case studies. I’d personally like a more technically focused book because some of the struggles I have is that I can hack together a grammar-based system (eg an L-system) easily enough, but turning it into a production quality reasonable performance/memory system is much harder. Eg I made an L-system using a string as the data and characters as the nodes and I was doing string matching and manipulation to implement the production rules. It worked great as a little demo, but was much much too inefficient for a real system. Converting it into something more efficient was too much work for me at the time. Perhaps time I try again though! I’ll see. I have a train journey tomorrow so I’ll start reading it then :)

  This would be great! Maybe a floorplan to ascii converter is needed.
