Procedural island generation pipeline

The level generation consists of 3 steps:

- data generation

- mesh generation

- props population

Everything starts from a voronoi graph

Then we keep a set of cells, define several cells as a key zone and compute paths (using a custom A* )

From this data we generate several textures for the mesh generation (like this heightmap) and others (design, props population...)

From these textures the island is generated as several chunk meshes with a custom shader

Finally the trees, rocks, grass and player are spawned
