Hi,

You can generate random points inside a circle using:
Vec2 Randomizer::operator()(C Circle &circle, Bool inside)

Is this not what you're after?

Similar, but not quite. This algorithm is simple that I figured I'd ask if it makes sense to incorporate into the engine as it's very reusable.

As an excerpt:
Poisson disk sampling has many applications in games:

-random object placement;
-sampling for graphics applications;
-procedural texture algorithms; and
-mesh algorithms.


The image below shows 3 different algorithms on how you may randomly fill a box with dots. The 3rd one shows the Poisson Disk Sampling's result.

Hi,

Thank you for the links and information.
More likely I'd rather implement my own solution that's more flexible, however right now I'm busy with other features.

Yup, no worries, just wanted to share especially since I've used this often for a few years.

In case you just mean writing your own algorithm but still using the formula, here's the write-up on the formula. This formula isn't just used for games, but for many, many things, including finance, scientific experiments, electronics, etc: http://people.cs.ubc.ca/~rbridson/docs/b...ondisk.pdf

I think creating an alternative mathematical formula would be far harder
