Generating Consistent Game Levels
Pages 451 - 456
Abstract
Stochastic data for procedural content generation is rarely specified in research, and left up to the game designer. Extending an existing set of levels, however, requires their consideration in order to generate spatially consistent levels. Stochastic analysis techniques are adopted from musical composition research and applied to level generation, giving promising results in terms of spatial consistency.
