Last time I said:
I want to randomize other primary vein parameters. Right now all I’m randomizing are the curves.
Also, I want to filter out any results where the primary veins extend outside a certain rectangle. Just ignore anything that goes outside my viewport.
And finally, I want to filter out results where the interveinal space goes from very narrow to very very wide.
Add to that, I should add typing everywhere… maybe use some code evaluation tool to do so?
Should I post this somewhere and get feedback? What’s a good way to get feedback on one’s code? I’ve been thinking about doing it for everything else from rowing to cello, why not here.
Also, I think I have some for loops that could be collapsed into one-liners.
Oh, and factor out the constants in interveinal_region_renderer.py.
…
Okay, I did the three to-do list items from last session. I added the parameters which control the direction of the root segments to the randomize list. These:
"root_segment_dir_const_x",
"root_segment_dir_const_y",
"root_segment_dir_linear_x",
"root_segment_dir_linear_y",
"root_segment_dir_quadratic_x",
"root_segment_dir_quadratic_y",
Results take longer to generate because there are more variables for the RNG to mess with and I’m rejecting more cases automagically. Waiting a few seconds—okay, often several seconds—is better than having to manually reject a lot of these candidates manually.
There’s definitely more variety now, though:
Those are after I did some rejecting as well, mostly for cases where the first interveinal region had some awkward shape and where the interveinal regions where very very thin.
I should add randomization for the parameters controlling the number of generations, that’ll change the lengths of the primary veins and it’ll make a big difference, too.
