Physics
Physics is very well defined as a theory, so it translates well to programming simulations and subsequently, game design. However, physics is a separate field from PCG. Still, physics can be used to aid us in our execution of PCG.
An example of using physics as a mechanism of PCG is the popular mobile game, Angry Birds. In Angry Birds, a modular structure is presented but it then has physics applied to it as a means to restructure it. The effects of the physics create new structures that then impact how the game is played.
The Angry Birds' gameplay is based on physics
The trade-off is that physics requires a lot of processing power. Current ...
