WorldGen V1

[TogaMario]

Hey guys, just wanted to let people know that I've made a World Generator that spits out fractal maps (and can make maps based on JPG and BMP heightmaps) at any squared resolution (I.E. 512x512, 1024x1024, etc) and I'm also working on a map editor that will let you place mountain/city/rivers/roads and such. It's all free, and all I ask for is feedback. If you like it enough to donate, I'd be tickled pink, but it's not required Donations spur my interest to get the map editor out quickly Any suggestions or additions you think would be prudent are always welcome.

Thanks!

Well, I did one world, 512x512 on my PIV, 2.1 GHz with 256MB RAM. Took almost 6 minutes to generate the picture, and it was mostly water. Granted, I said random, so that's understandable.

6 minutes?! Did you have a lot running in the background? I've had an 800mhz computer spit out 1024x1024 in a minute. And you might want to heighten the gaussien number to .65 or more if you want more land on small maps.

I had to kill my Seti@home client because it caused my maps to generate in 5+ minutes.

Just a quick example of a map I made in less than an hour with WorldGen V1 and photoshop. It's got quick graphics work on it, so hold the laughter down to a minimum
