Little Procedural Pixel Worlds
Took a break from the falling sand simulation blog posts this week to work on another small project. It's a little pixel world generator- each time you visit, you'll see a new little world. I really like this stuff and had a blast building it yesterday!
Little Procedural Pixel Worlds launched on May 23, 2022 with 227 votes, #75 of 2,942 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.
In plain words
Little Procedural Pixel Worlds is a generator that creates a new pixel-based world each time it is visited. The tool procedurally generates small worlds for users to explore, with different landscapes and environments appearing on every visit. It is designed for anyone interested in pixel art aesthetics and procedural generation. The project stands out as a creative side project focused on world-building visualization.

PickCells – Procedurally Generate Pixel Art2023 · pickcells.vercel.app · ▲10Hi all, I hacked this little tool on a couple of train rides during my vacation to procedurally generate sprites based on loosely defined areas in a mask. You can use it to brainstorm ideas, to prototype art or to generate some temporary sprites for your 2d game. It's likely not good enough to give you a final product: it's meant to sketch things out and can be useful in game jams or early development stages of a game. The idea came by reading the Pixel Spaceship article by Dave Bollinger https://web.archive.org/web/20080228054410/http://www.davebo...…

I've been working for a while on trying to curate a game that has the emergence of procedurally generated computer games but that can be played with only pen and paper. Here I present the best version I've been able to come up with that is simple and emergent. I've really enjoyed being able to engage with this sort of game while not feeling like my brain in rotting. I recon my numeracy improves while playing it.
