Live map generator

Software concept

Generates more of the map/level when needed rather than everything in one go in the initial map creation.

Note that this does not mean the map expands indefinitely, rather that only the minimum necessary is generated at start. This likely means map generation is fast enough to be done on the go but woulds still slow down the initial generation too much that it is delegated to a later date.

Mostly useful for games with maps that expand to as far as the hardware is able to produce meaningful results for (possibly farther if the coordinate system takes machine limitations into account).
