I want to create a web-based game in space.

For this, I need to show the player a nice-looking galaxy. How do I do it? Do I create a pre-rendered image and place 100k stars manually (oh no!), or can I try to create something procedurally that looks awesome?

In this talk, I'll delve into the concepts of procedural generation - mostly around the mathematical tools at your disposal as a developer to create awesome procedural generated art. With every step in creating a realistic looking galaxy, I provide code examples in JavaScript.
