Argh! An infinite map only contains all possible maps if it is provably non-repeating. Back to math class with you: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/07/15/some-time-with-cube-world/#more-160466 …
@nothings But the article in particular is talking about the map generator for a game. So, it _does_ have probabilities, etc.

@cmuratori Things that the algorithm can't produce will never be produced. Things generated by testing random numbers will have finite probsThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@cmuratori Only way to get finite# of things from map gen is due to pseudo random number gen never repeating, which is unlikely scenario. -
@nothings Clearly we just need chipsets to provide a good source of infinitesimal probability. That's the real problem here.

@cmuratori E.g. if you do some kind of hashing function on x&y with finite bit length, that'll repeat when x&y wrap that length.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@cmuratori If you write a bignum random generator, then it would depend on whether that random generator does produce finite seqs infinitelyThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
