Procedural generation algorithms and demos for the Godot game engine
A collection of procedural generation demos for Godot, covering dungeon generation, infinite worlds, cellular automata, world maps, and modular weapon systems. It exists primarily as companion material for GDQuest's paid PCG course, not as a standalone library. Game developers who want runnable reference implementations of classic procgen algorithms in GDScript will find it useful.
Both Godot 3 and Godot 4 versions are maintained in parallel, so the repo doesn't strand you on an old engine version. The algorithm selection is genuinely varied — random walker, cellular automata, MST-based dungeons, blue/white noise infinite worlds, and shader-driven biome maps cover a meaningful slice of the procgen toolkit. The step-by-step timer visualization for generation is a smart teaching choice that makes it easy to follow what each algorithm is actually doing. The modular weapons system is an underrated inclusion — it shows emergent complexity from composition rather than just spatial generation.
This is course material, not a library — nothing is packaged for reuse as an addon or plugin, so you're copying files out manually and untangling demo-specific scaffolding from the actual algorithm code. The godot4 directory is missing the WorldMap and MSTDungeon demos that exist in godot3, so the two versions aren't feature-equivalent. No tests, no documented API, no typed signals in most scripts — which matters when you're trying to adapt something into a real project rather than just run it. The repo is also tied to a paid course for deeper context, so some demos are intentionally incomplete (`start-project/` starters ship without solutions).
