You might want to look at Fortune's algorithm.

you can slow the video yourself, and rewind it!

you can visualize time in the 3d demonstration by changing the color of the cubes, but the height of the structure represents time itself so it may not be necessary

​@@pro-grammerimagine, if we could visualize our ancestral trees and evolution of life on Earth as a semi-chaotic cellular automaton process

​@@johnyaxon__ so your suggesting to simulate life abstracted as a cellular automaton such that each cell would contain the atom or molecule etc. and there would be an infinitely large rule set for how the cells behave thereby simulating life?

@@pro-grammer something like that, but it is very difficult. Maybe we could start with some "LUCA" cell and simulate replication of LUCA. We could start with some simple replicators and rules for their replication, behaviour and death(by temperature, by lack of energy, etc). Maybe first simple replicators had simple behaviour

Glad it was helpful! Thanks 😃

Thanks! 😃

I got the script to work by declaring an array of possibleColors and populating it within the script but I can't get it to work when exposing the possiblecolors field to the inspector and populating it from within the inspector.

it doesn't work for me either. Found the solution yet?@@MrThijsdc

@@MrThijsdc I don't understand. Could you post the code?

Sure, no problem. Here is my code: using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.UI; public class voronoiDiagram : MonoBehaviour { private Color[] possibleColors; [SerializeField] private int gridSize = 10; private int imgSize; private int pixelsPerCell; private RawImage image; private Vector2Int[,] pointPositions; private Color[,] colors; private void Awake() { image = GetComponent<RawImage>(); imgSize = Mathf.RoundToInt(image.GetComponent<RectTransform>().sizeDelta.x); } private void Start() { GenerateDiagram(); } private void Update() { if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) { GenerateDiagram(); } } private void GenerateDiagram() { Texture2D texture = new Texture2D(imgSize, imgSize); texture.filterMode = FilterMode.Point; pixelsPerCell = imgSize / gridSize; possibleColors = new Color[] { new Color(Random.Range(0, 1f),Random.Range(0, 1f), Random.Range(0, 1f)), new Color(Random.Range(0, 1f), Random.Range(0, 1f), Random.Range(0, 1f)), new Color(Random.Range(0, 1f), Random.Range(0, 1f), Random.Range(0, 1f)), new Color(Random.Range(0, 1f), Random.Range(0, 1f), Random.Range(0, 1f)) }; GeneratePoints(); for (int i = 0; i < imgSize; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < imgSize; j++) { int gridX = i / pixelsPerCell; int gridY = j / pixelsPerCell; float nearestDistance = Mathf.Infinity; Vector2Int nearestPoint = new(); for (int a = -1; a < 2; a++) { for (int b = -1; b < 2; b++) { int X = gridX + a; int Y = gridY + b; if (X < 0 || Y < 0 || X >= gridSize || Y >= gridSize) continue; float distance = Vector2Int.Distance(new Vector2Int(i, j), pointPositions[X, Y]); if (distance < nearestDistance) { nearestDistance = distance; nearestPoint = new Vector2Int(X, Y); } } } texture.SetPixel(i, j, colors[nearestPoint.x, nearestPoint.y]); } } texture.Apply(); image.texture = texture; } private void GeneratePoints() { pointPositions = new Vector2Int[gridSize, gridSize]; colors = new Color[gridSize, gridSize]; for (int i = 0; i < gridSize; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < gridSize; j++) { pointPositions[i, j] = new Vector2Int(i * pixelsPerCell + Random.Range(0, pixelsPerCell), j * pixelsPerCell + Random.Range(0, pixelsPerCell)); colors[i, j] = possibleColors[Random.Range(0, possibleColors.Length)]; } } } }

@@MrThijsdc Thank you so much! It worked. One question though, is there a way I can choose the colors in the inspector rather than make it randomly generated?

Those are actually done without curves, only perlin noise. I just wanted to show how it looks without using curves first. I am planning to do a video explaining how i generated this terrain in greater detail and showing all the layers of perlin noise that i'm generating, but for now i just wanted to show that it's possible to use animation curves. The final result with the curves starts at 3:00. Stay tuned for more terrain generation 😄

@@AlexKDev Oh fr? Ive never seen ridges with perlin. Will be waiting.👍

I'm glad the video was helpful. Thank you 😄

Should be ready in a couple of days :D

@@AlexKDev Hell yeah!

No, you are! Thank you :D

Thanks! I will definitely check out your tutorials

Thank you for the feedback! I will definitely look into that, altough for right now i'm just trying to polish the basic mechanics, but it sounds like a cool thing to consider for an update later on 😄

Are you also using facepunch? And also, how are you comunicating with the server? I haven't implemented client side prediction yet, but it seems smooth enough for now.

I've been using mirror and just using the built in command and client rpc, but at 60-70ms of latency the delay gets really noticeable. I'll try the client prediction and maybe give a try to fishnet or facepunch
