    This uses the "wave function collapse" algorithm. Oskar Stalberg also made a great demo of how it works[0], but it might not make sense just from that. Martin Donald made a really nice youtube video on how it works[1]. The name "wave function collapse" can be off putting but it's pretty straightforward, and an algorithm that can come in handy for many uses both in game development and just general software developme…

    Not sure why, but whenever I'm presented with something like this, I always seem to want to build the least functional, least utilitarian, most maddening and stupidest structure I can. http://oskarstalberg.com/Townscaper/#IzhCuCAJioFFB00CAajRAN2...

    There is also another game/toy by Oskar Stålberg in which you can build a teeny, tiny block of house(s) on a 5x5 grid. Very cute, especially with all the well decorated balconies. https://oskarstalberg.com/game/house/index.html The author is on Twitter and sometimes tweets about development of his games and the techniques involved. https://twitter.com/OskSta

    That's one of my long time interests and hobbies, which I write about on HN and discuss with other people frequently. I'm supposed to be doing something else right now so I'll quickly drop a few disorganized quotes and links here. (Sorry I didn't have time to be more concise!)
