April 28, 2009 Generating Random Integers With Arbitrary Probabilities I finally laid my hands on Donald Knuthâs The Art of Computer Programming (what a wonderful set of books!), and found a neat algorithm…
April 9, 2009 Cellular Automata for Simulation in Games A cellular automata system is one of the best demonstrations of emergence. If you do not know what cellular automata (CA) is, then you…
December 7, 2008 Random Steering – 7 Components for a Toolkit Random steering is often a useful for simulating interesting steering motion. In this post we look at components that make up a random steering…
November 7, 2008 A Simple Procedural Texture Algorithm I am playing around with generating textures and decided to post some preliminary results. The algorithm used to create these images is simple to…
September 21, 2008 Generating Random Numbers with Arbitrary Distributions For many applications, detailed statistical models are overkill. Instead, we can get away with a rough description of the distribution – not in mathematical…
