Coincidentally, I'm updating the companion Spotify playlist for my online port of the 2005 procedural driving demo, Drivey: https://rezmason.github.io/drivey https://rezmason.github.io/drivey Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4ukrs3cTKjTbLoFcxqssXi https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4ukrs3cTKjTbLoFcxqssXi Slightly different vibe, equally free of charge, feedback always welcome :)

This is a fantastic piece of work. Have you considered the ability to 'share' a spotify playlist & the users are given a random playlist from the global list each time they load? That isn't to say I didn't enjoy the playlist you've provided!

  Thank you! To be honest, the Spotify playlist was a kind of afterthought until recently. I spent part of this morning trying to embed a Spotify widget in the UI as a sort of stereo, but iframes don't easily resize their content the way the rest of the UI does. Spotify does have a developer API that might allow what you're talking about, but I haven't looked too closely at it yet.

    You could just put a stereo or such in the dashboard in keeping with the UI and play music in the background with nothing spotify visible and just have a keypress trigger switching the playlist or something. Either way, the app is awesome with or without any music features - it's not exactly a hassle to play my own music! Only mentioned it due to the theme of OP. Will keep watching updates!

I love this. Something about procedural generation delights me even if I know what's behind the curtain.

That's really cool, thank you for sharing that! Only feedback I have is that it feels like I'm going around in circles somehow. I guess it's because the frequency of right turns seems to be a lot higher than the frequency of left turns, for some reason. Not sure if this is just my imagination, but after 2 minutes of watching it I started feeling like I'm going in circles.

  If you click the "camera" option a few times you get to satellite view - and you are correct, it seems we are driving in a big loop
