I think it's something to do with applying a fill outside the boundaries of the polygon instead of inside it, but it's rare enough not to warrant spending too much time worrying about it. Polygons can be more annoying than you'd think!JonathanCRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943966639483256507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367557180796013182.post-83728999749974788112022-06-24T16:08:20.866-04:002022-06-24T16:08:20.866-04:00Well, I'm happy to be among such exalted compa...Well, I'm happy to be among such exalted company!JonathanCRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943966639483256507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367557180796013182.post-55325527787861844782022-06-14T17:54:40.249-04:002022-06-14T17:54:40.249-04:00I think you're right that overlap between (1) ...I think you're right that overlap between (1) coders and (2) people interested in procgen maps, and (3) people interested enough to make substantive comments / contributions is a very small set!

When I posted my code I was struck that while I got some really helpful feedback on what I was doing wrong from a coding language point of view, I got none at all about the actual techniques and algorithms and things that the coding was *about*. Perhaps this is a reflection on the niche nature of what we're coding about, or perhaps an unusually large proportion of the people interested in this kind of thing aren't coders themselves!JonathanCRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943966639483256507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367557180796013182.post-69210722743763938292022-06-13T16:20:55.312-04:002022-06-13T16:20:55.312-04:00There's also the procjam discord! https://disc...There's also the procjam discord! https://discord.com/invite/MjRaWGZ<br /><br />I agree that sharing code is hard and low benefit, and sharing the result as something people can run would be appealing for a much wider audience than just the procgen community.Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12159325271882018300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367557180796013182.post-16316501232428467952022-06-13T14:05:41.113-04:002022-06-13T14:05:41.113-04:00Good point, I believe I'm too deep into conser...Good point, I believe I'm too deep into conservative approach as wellAzgaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08095636042425183196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367557180796013182.post-12546447471453263092022-06-13T14:03:03.668-04:002022-06-13T14:03:03.668-04:00No, at least I don't know about them. That was...No, at least I don't know about them. That was the point – procGen community is tiny, but out creations can be really helpful for roleplayers, which is gigantic community.<br /><br />For the integration – I prefer it to be a part of our codebase if it's small enough (like a few thousand lines max). Service is also good. It can be some simple API like a have for Armoria (e.g. https://armoria.herokuapp.com/svg/500/example).<br /><br />But I value others' work and time, so a very basic integration via link or iframe is also an option.Azgaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08095636042425183196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367557180796013182.post-82601650467033099472022-06-12T19:19:01.175-04:002022-06-12T19:19:01.175-04:00Azgaar, are there other good ProcGen communities o...Azgaar, are there other good ProcGen communities outside of Reddit and Twitter?

But I have to admit I'm not really interested in contributing. ProgGen community is small and only a small portion of it follows the ProdGen subreddit. Meanwhile there are lots of people who could be potential users of the code if it's distributed as a service. For example, I can see how your Compass Rose generator can be easily integrated to the FMG as a third-party service (we can talk about it in details in you're interested in). That could give the tool an audience of real users instead of a developers coven.<br /><br />So I agree that sharing code is hard and lowly beneficial, but sharing the result as something usable is different.Azgaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08095636042425183196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367557180796013182.post-57057099280473591952022-06-12T16:06:51.560-04:002022-06-12T16:06:51.560-04:00Thanks for the comments, Amit, insightful as alway...Thanks for the comments, Amit, insightful as always.

I followed along initially but I have to admit that compass roses aren't too interesting to me.<br /><br />What I'm usually looking for is that I want to read your blog post about the technique, and then *occasionally* I want to look at the source code to see details that I'm curious about but weren't described in the blog post. But that's a very different model than wanting to actually use or contribute to your project's code, or participating in an "open source community".<br /><br />I'd like to think Martin O'Leary was helped by being able to look at my voronoi map generator code, but I don't actually know if he looked at the code or only at the blog post.<br /><br />I am fairly pessimistic about getting open source contributions that are useful for my own projects. Other people's goals are not my own. I definitely don't want to manage a contributor community. So I share my map generators as open source but with a "toss it over the wall" approach. It's relatively low cost (other than having to include dependencies) and also low benefit (I don't expect or even want contributions). I do very little cleanup, I don't write blog posts about the code, I don't use branches, etc.<br /><br />I also tried some experiments in making reusable utility libraries, but it's just not my thing. It was a lot of work for little benefit.<br /><br />Whether open source or not, I think it would be fun if people other than you could *run* your generator :-)Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12159325271882018300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367557180796013182.post-75955659083546965542022-06-12T12:22:18.602-04:002022-06-12T12:22:18.602-04:00The creative vs conservative thing reminds me that...The creative vs conservative thing reminds me that I used to make more creative generators and then I got into a situation where I had to make them conservative (shipping a product where I don't get to manually prune out the bad ones), and I guess I've been making them conservatively ever since!
