About this project
Ocean Space is an immersive generative game that takes players on an underwater exploration adventure. Built with JavaScript and p5.js, it features procedurally generated ocean environments with dynamic sea creatures exhibiting flocking behavior, swaying seaweed and coral formations, and atmospheric bubble and particle effects. The ocean world uses a depth gradient that grows darker as the player descends, creating a sense of deep-sea mystery. Each playthrough offers a unique ocean to discover, with schools of colorful fish that respond to the environment using alignment, cohesion, and separation algorithms inspired by Craig Reynolds' Boids model.
The project showcases procedural generation techniques, real-time simulation, and generative art principles, combining computer science fundamentals with creative expression to produce an endlessly varied underwater experience.
