delaunator VS Delaunator-GDScript

Well, the easiest option would probably be to use a different Delaunay/Voronoi library. Delaunator (C# bindings here) should be a pretty good option: it's fast, and there's a good explanation of how to use the data structures it generates. There is some weirdness with how points at the edge of the domain work that you may have to work around, but that will probably be easier than trying to modify another algorithm or write your own. I know I've struggled to implement the algorithms for calculating Voronoi diagrams/Delaunay triangulations, even though I feel like I have a decent high-level understanding of how Fortune's algorithm is supposed to work.

Great article!

How does this algorithm compare to others, e.g. sweep algorithms like the one used by delaunator[0]?

An obvious difference is sweep algorithms sort the points in some way before adding them, is that a key to efficiency gains?

Alternatively, if you do want to play with the delaunay/voronoi sphere, I would recommend giving yourself a week to play with delaunay/voronoi on a plane first, using Delaunator-GDScript. It takes some getting used to. I think I spent three weeks on just the geometry (in Delaunator-Javascript) before attempting terrain generation. Then you'll be able to wrap it onto a sphere. The good news is that most of the hard work is getting it working on a plane, and then the sphere is not much more work.

I whilst searching for how to create destructible objects in Godot, I found Delaunator-GDScript I used it to create the really nice transition shown above. I'll show you how to create it in this. First download Delaunator.gd from the repository and place it in your project folder. Create a new Singleton with a Canvas Layer as it's root node , then add a script to it.
