Condensed and clarified by rearranging and removing duplication or unnecessary detail. Split sections with horizontal rules. Clearer title and a relevant tag.

Any modifications can be made for archival purposes for others that may stumble upon it. The entire example can be removed if deemed fit (if you have the ability to do so). Otherwise I will do it. | |

| Nov 10, 2014 at 19:06 | comment | added | Philipp | A procedural content generation algorithm doesn't necessarily need to include randomness. You can have a completely deterministic procedural algorithm which always generates the same output. This technique can be used to reduce the size of the assets you need to ship with your game. | |
