Abstract
This paper explores methods for the procedural placement of shore-line vegetation based on observations from generic tropical beach shoreline vegetation which can potentially be useful in the process of the level-design of computer games systems based on such environment. As the level design process is usually the most time-consuming process of the development of computer games, this approach can potentially save the level-designer’s time by automating the process of the placement of the vegetation which could later be refined by the level-designer or used directly.
