Knowledge graph: 56 notes, 127 links.Each dot is a note, sized by how many links it has and colored by topic. Focus or hover a dot to isolate it and its neighbors; activate it to open the note. The graph is a single tab stop: use the arrow keys to move between notes, Home and End for the most and least linked, Enter to open the focused note, and Escape to leave the graph.DeterminismProcedural GenerationRoguelikePlain LanguageEnvironmental StorytellingGame FeelGame AIReproducible CaseMeta-ProgressionSeeded RandomnessPerformance BudgetGacha MonetizationLudonarrative DissonanceFactory GameConstraint PropagationEnvironment VariableMetroidvaniaShellTypographic ScaleVariable-Ratio ReinforcementCellular AutomatonCharacter EncodingImmersive SimKeyboard NavigationShaderVoxelOKLCHRoguelike DeckbuilderColony SimRasterizationSkill CheckTerminal User InterfaceBattle RoyaleDiegesisL-SystemMonty Hall ProblemSymbolic LinkDotfilesEmergent GameplayMarkov ChainMetroidbrainiaTrick-Taking GameVisual NovelXDG Base Directory SpecificationComputer Role-Playing GameRhythm GameSim RacingRay TracingRogueliteSave ScummingLevel of DetailMarching CubesProcedural NarrativeSigned Distance FieldTarotPhysically Based Rendering
