neat! I've wanted to add irregular grids to my infinite minesweeper. Playing your version, it definitely adds something. How do you generate your grid? Is it vo

  Thanks a lot. And I've had some thought about making this infinite, but it's a bit harder! The generation is inspired by what Oskar Stålberg has done for his game Townscaper. It is done with those steps: - start with triangles (ideally in an hexagonal pattern). - merge pairs of triangles into quads, randomly leaving some as triangles. - we subdivide both quads and triangles, and end up with quads only. - smooth the whole to get nicer shapes It can be a bit abstract with just this list, so you can see some videos in my tweet: https://twitter.com/fradingue/status/1712218108826460428 https://twitter.com/fradingue/status/1712218108826460428 I've also created a webgl engine to solve this type of procedural modeling for the web, and you can see 2 examples scenes where you can play with parameters that affect the shape of the irregular grid: - https://polygonjs.com/gui/irregular_quads/edit https://polygonjs.com/gui/irregular_quads/edit - https://polygonjs.com/gui/irregular_quad_relaxation/edit https://polygonjs.com/gui/irregular_quad_relaxation/edit
