There is an interesting IP minefield in the fledgling area of procedural generation. That is, if you can define a procedural texture that looks the same as another procedural texture (but different generating rules), are you breaking copyright? Can you patent the algorithm that generates a tree?
- _delirium 15y agoI agree that that one is an interesting angle. I think the quantum-computing angle is unnecessary buzzword intrusion, though; most (all?) of the same difficulties can be posed with procedural-generation systems using classical computation.
