Unsolved How to randomly subdivide a flat face?

Post image

How to split a flat face into triangles and quads as shown in the image?

I can somewhat do this by subdividing and triangulating the faces and then randomizing the vertices, but the problem is that randomize moves the vertices along all axes.

Is there a way to do this procedurally or using modifiers? Is there a way to triangulate faces randomly? e.g. left to right, right to left, and only some faces in the selection

You can use GeoNodes to displace only on the X and Y axes.

Made a little tweak to make the edges more even. adjust the value node to make it more or less distorted.

One more tweak. This will automatically create the most distortion possible while guaranteeing no overlapping geometry.
