grid creation

steps

1. draw a line
2. find an existing line from which a new line will be drawn
3. add new line's start point to parent line
4. repeat

rules

• a new line must start some distance away from either point of it's parent line
  • if the new line has no place to "fit" on a given parent line, a new parent will be selected
• every time a new line intersects with an existing line, a weighted factor will decide if it continues or ends
• if a line ends near the point of a different line, it must end
  • a weighted factor will decide if the new line connects to the existing point or not
• the lines must all move toward (or away from) a central point based on some weighted value

TODO

• don't intersect (maybe sit opposite?)
• check slanty lines (some a too crooked)
• check around for closer points (sometimes there's a better intersection point)

After some serious thought, I realized that having a procedurally created grid isn't needed for a simple game with set levels.

TODO: try to utilize this code for some future DLC?
