For those of you that missed David's TED Talk about Procedural Generation... well worth a watch.

Have to say, he did really well as getting up and talking to a packed Royal Albert Hall must be a little nerve wracking!!!

Boffin : A boffin is British slang for a scientist, engineer, or other person engaged in technical or scientific work.

Damn Dante, I didn't know this word, thanks.

Very interesting TED speech. Do we have longer explanations by D. Braben about procedural generation : I always find the random numbers thing but I'd love to see more examples of what he created with this technique (aside from previous Elite games of course).
