#The interactive demo can be found here: ()ġ. First I set the number of cells I want to generate, say 150. This is an arbitrary amount really, but the higher the number the larger the dungeon and in general more complexity.Ģ. For each "cell" I spawn a Rectangle of random width and length within some radius. *Instead of using uniformly distributed random numbers (the default Math.random generator in most languages), I'm using ().Īgain the radius doesn't matter too much, but it should probably be proportionate to the number of cells. The reason for this will be explained later! This skews the size of the cells so that they are more likely to be of a small size (more smaller cells, less larger cells). *In addition to this I ensure that the ratio between the width and length of each cell is not too large, we don't want perfectly square rooms but neither do we want really skinny ones, but somewhere in between.ģ. At this point we have 150 random cells in a small area, most are overlapping. Next we use simple separation steering behaviour to separate out all of the rectangles so that none are overlapping. This technique ensures that the cells are not overlapping, yet in general remain as tightly packed together as possible.Ĥ. We fill in any gaps with 1x1 sized cells. The result is that we end up with a square grid of differently sized cells, all perfectly packed together.ĥ. We determine which of the cells in the grid are rooms - any cell with a width and height above a certain threshold is made into a room. Because of the Park-Miller Normal Distribution described earlier, there will only be a small amount of rooms in comparison to the number of cells, with lots of space between. The remaining cells are still useful however. For the next stage we want to link each room together. To begin we construct a graph of all of the rooms' center points using (). So now all rooms are connected to each other without intersecting lines.ħ. Because we don't want every single room to be linked to every other with a corridor (that would make for a very confusing layout), we then construct a () using the previous graph. This creates a graph that guarantees all rooms are connected (and therefore reachable in the game).Ĩ. The minimal spanning tree looks nice, but again is a boring dungeon layout because it contains no loops, it is the other extreme to the Delaunay Triangulation. So now we re-incorporate a small number of edges from the triangulated graph (say 15% of the remaining edges after the minimal spanning tree has been created). The final layout will therefore be a graph of all rooms, each guaranteed to be reachable and containing some loops for variety.ĩ. To convert the graph to corridors, for each edge we construct a series of straight lines (or L shapes) going from each room of the graph to its neighbour. This is where the cells we have not yet used (those cells in the grid which are not rooms) become useful. Because of the variety in cell sizes, the walls of the corridors will be twisty and uneven, perfect for a dungeon.Īnd here's an example of the finished result!Īny cells which intersect with the L shapes become corridor tiles. So today I'm going to be a little different and talk about one technical aspect of my game TinyKeep, that is random procedural dungeon generation. It's pretty over-engineered, but hopefully will give anyone interested some ideas on generating dungeon layouts for their own games. #TINYKEEP DUNGEON GENERATION GENERATOR#.

Most think that to be in tune, you must have someone else to tune to. As you raise it or lower it to bring it closer to A440 or whatever pitch you’re trying to match, when you eventually match it exactly, you’ll be in tune. Being sharp means that your sounded pitch is higher than it should be (it has a higher Hz than it should). Being flat simply means that your sounded pitch is lower than it should be (it has a lower Hz than it should). When you’re out of tune, you will sound either “flat” or “sharp”. Sound waves of 2 Tones that are out of tune and 2 Tones that are in tune Sounding “Flat” or “Sharp” But the common standard we musicians tune to is A440. A whole group of players can choose to tune to A432 if they want to, and so long as they sound in tune with each other, the performance will sound pleasant. This means that everyone playing music should try to match A440 exactly so that everyone sounds in tune with each other. A440 is the general music standard for tuning and is generally accepted as the correct pitch to match. A440 (Pitch Standard)Ī440 refers to the musical tone A at 440 Hz. Hopefully that all made some sense to you! Here’s a simpler summary: pitches or sounds are measured by Hz, and to be in tune with a particular pitch, you have to make a pitch that has the same Hz. They would sound close to each other, but not the same. In other words, they would be “ out of tune” with each other. How does this affect the sound? A pitch of a higher Hz will sound higher because the sound waves are oscillating faster, while a pitch of a lower Hz will sound lower because the sound waves are oscillating slower. For example, if you were to make a sound that had a frequency of 430 Hz and then one that had a frequency of 440 Hz, the first one would sound slightly lower than the other. 1 Hz would have 1 oscillation of sound waves per second while 1000 Hz would have 1000 oscillations of sound waves per second. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), which defines exactly how many times these wave cycles repeat per second. Sound waves oscillate in repeated cycles with a certain number of wave cycles per second, and this is called the sound frequency. Pitch is the quality of sound that we distinguish as high or low, and every pitch is made up of sound waves. To understand correct pitch, you have to know how pitch it measured. In music, being “in tune” means having correct pitch or intonation for each note you play or sing.īeing In Tune: All musical notes are at the correct intervals, and none are flat or sharp. People say they’re in tune with each other when they’re thinking along the same lines, or people feel like they’re in tune with the universe when things are going well for them. We use the word “orchestrate” to mean arranging or putting something together, yet it originally meant arranging music for an orchestra.īeing “ in tune” means to be in agreement or in harmony with something or someone else. To be in “harmony” with something means to be in accord with it, but “harmony” also refers to simultaneous musical notes that are in accord with each other or sound pleasing together. A lot of the words we use have roots in music. That was one reason for writing this guide: After rating hundreds of trees, I wanted to have a look at the forest. Looking only at what’s on my plate, I can miss what’s just outside my field of vision. (I stopped for a while during the height of the pandemic.)īut of course restaurants in major cities don’t exist in isolation, and writing as if they did has a way of distorting my eyesight. Roasted Eel salad, red wine brined cranberries & toasted almonds. That isolated view is a major basis for the star ratings I typically give out. Served Every day from 5 pm to 10.30 pm, Friday, Saturday till Midnight. When I review restaurants, I try to consider each on its own merits, almost as if others didn’t exist. This was the fun part because it gave me a chance to see the dining landscape differently. I’ve attempted to arrange my favorite restaurants into a pattern that captures the diversity and character of dining in New York. The list can also be used as a composite portrait of the city. If you use it this way, though, be warned that at some of these places you’ll have a smooth leather seat with a full view of the kitchen and at others you’ll have to find an empty patch of sidewalk and eat on your feet. Obviously, it is a guide, based on my decade of reviewing. There are at least two ways to read this list. We’re committed as ever to being an exciting presence in the world of contemporary art, and the Miami community and our growing collector base has shown a lot of love that I’m very much thankful for.Here they are, the 100 best restaurants in New York City, ranked. This past June we were the sole gallery from Miami to show during Art Basel in Switzerland and one of only four American galleries to exhibit at SCOPE Basel. WRE: What makes Avant Gallery stand out from any other art gallery here in Miami?ĭP: Avant is now entering its 10th year and I’m fortunate to say that we have become an internationally recognized art brand. WRE: What do you look for in artists when choosing what to display at Avant Gallery?ĭP: For a group show typically it’s work fresh from the artist’s studio that allows for a cohesive composition. Some of our top artists including Skyler Grey, BNS, and Santlov are in town helming the brunch tasting, and toasting the new works on exhibit at the co-located Avant. WRE: Can you expand more on what The 2017 Midsummer Daydream art vernissage is?ĭP: The 2017 Midsummer Daydream art vernissage is a sneak peek celebration of the new Miami gallery flagship at the EPIC hotel, which now has a restaurant component – LaMuse Café. WRE: Tell us about what led you to open Avant Gallery?ĭP: My passion for art and an entrepreneurial spirit, combined with my stubbornness to do things a bit differently and have no regrets about it let me to open Avant Gallery. World Red Eye chatted with both Avant Gallery owner Dmitry Prut and street artist Skyler Grey, who each gave us a closer look into what was showcased at the at the Midsummer Daydream and what goes into creating and showcasing art. The private viewing was helmed by owner Dmitry Prut who was joined by three of the gallery’s top artists – Brooklyn-based street artist BNS, Miami-based photographer and graphic artist Santlov, and 17-year-old LA-based street artist Skyler Grey. Miami, FL – J– Avant Gallery held its inaugural Midsummer Daydream vernissage and brunch at the newly integrated gallery and restaurant concept Avant Gallery and LaMuse Café – located inside the EPIC Hotel – accompanied by Miami’s elite, art collectors and admirers to toast the new Miami flagship and exhibit at the space.
