Nov/Dec 2020 Lite Challenge: Borders [Dragons Abound]

[srt19170]

I'm the author of Dragons Abound, a program that generates and illustrates fantasy maps. One of its capabilities is to invent map borders, so I'm including five borders as entries in this month's contest.

These are all generated by Dragons Abound using a generative grammar to design the border (i.e., I did not handcraft these borders). Note the invented pattern in Celtic border and the "hand-drawn" lines in the fourth border.

I've also attached the full PNGs. I've generated these for 2000x2000. SVG versions are available, but they exceed the size limit for attachments; if you'd like one let me know and I'll email it to you.

I hope you enjoy these!

Well done, these are very cool. To be able to describe what you want and have the program proceduralally generate those borders is pretty impressive.

I like the borders! Is Dragons Abound available somewhere? I poked around your blog for a bit and read some interesting things but did not see anywhere to run it or download it?
