Thinking about input

I would like the initial generations to be based on something rather than just completely random and different each time.

I looked back at my old coding for creative practise project in first year – In this project I created random maps based on an input typed into the program. It did this by transforming the word into numbers and adding them together to create the random ‘seed’. The generation created was unique to the input text and would always be the same.

In order to throw the machine into the collaboration as much as possible I turned to random name generators in order to generate a random fantasy name for the planet in order to use as the input.
