Definition
Procedural generation is a method of creating data algorithmically rather than manually. In game development, it’s often used to create content such as levels, textures, or game mechanics automatically, leading to vast amounts of content with minimal human input.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
While not explicitly named, the AI’s ability to build a game from a description implies underlying procedural generation techniques are at play.
