The Spore creatures, likewise, used Metaballs, a geometry creation algorithm that could create smooth tubes along paths in 3D space. Other algorithms for filling spaces and paths are Voronoi patterns, Perlin/Simplex noise, triangulation algorithms, 3D extrusion or rotation, and the Diamond-square algorithm for fractal terrain. These algorithms are particularly well-suited for interactive generators, because the user can provide the input parameters for the generator.
Experienced and inexperienced programmers write about the same number of lines of code per day, but experienced programmers keep more of those lines of code,
"It seems that while counting lines of code is a terrible way to measure productivity, it is a good way to measure what you can expect someone to be able to hold in their head."
