Visit a procedurally generated city, different each time. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

https://www.joelstrait.com/citytour/

Made using three.js and WebGL.

First, blueprints of the world are generated:

• A terrain map
• A road network that follows the terrain
• Empty building lots along roads
• Buildings in the lots

The results are different each time due to random variation, but follow configurable rules.

Next, this abstract definition is turned into a 3D model that can be rendered with WebGL, with the help of three.js.

Once this is all created, you can move around the city using touch gestures (mobile) or the mouse (desktop). Navigation works similar to Google/Apple Maps. You can also click the "Take a Tour" button to go on an automatic flight/drive through the city.

• city_tour.html requires city_tour.js, which is a minified and concatenated build of the source files. It's not included in this repo. You'll need to generate it locally by running yarn install (if this is your first build) and then yarn run build. Open city_tour.html in your browser and you should be good to go!
• To automatically re-build when a source file changes:
  • Install the rb-fsevent Ruby gem: gem install rb-fsevent
  • Run ruby build.rb --watch. Each time a file under /src changes, yarn run build will automatically be run.
• To run the tests, open spec/SpecRunner.html in your browser
