Hrm, AlpilotX, Pre-Gen sounds like a drug to me too..heck everything sounds like a pill in America because practically everything is. :-)

Fortunately they are working on a new prescription that will help software engineers come up with better names for their technology. Side effects include dry mouth, vommiting, nausea, and the pill should not be taken while using heavy machinery or C++.

Austin did have a plan to call the 25% increase in mesh scenery "trans-mega hyper mesh technology" but I think he was only suggesting that to make me grumpy. :-)

Ben, I would rather have called it Pre-Gen 😉 As it is what you are doing : pre-generate scenery … Algo-Gen sounds like some medicine 😉 But never mind …

Haha, it’s curious, in spanish, ‘algo’ means ‘something,a few’, so, when I saw the title, “Algo-gen”, I understood this like “a few-gen”, it’s funny 😀

Regards!!

Great post Ben! It's extremely clear what the differences are, and how they work.

Maybe you should be running for president vs. the current crop. LOL!
