Did you create a program to help create that. Did it take long for the program to create it.

It WAS drawn with a Euphoria program. The draw time was 2.19 seconds on my P-166. I think it's pretty cool.

Now that I'm conscious again (I fainted), let me ask you this: Was the landscape "randomly" drawn... for instance, is there a fractal generator working behind that? Also, I was wondering if anybody here had any "continent creator" software. When I owned my Commodore 64 I had a game called "Seven Cities of Gold," and it would randomly generate a whole planet, including continents, etc. I think it realistically generated landmasses, possibly taking into account plate tektonic theories, etc. If you know of anything like this, please lemme know. Thanks! ck

I have a Math degree, emphasis in Fractal Geometry. The landscape is a random midpoint displacement fractal, and yes, it's statistically self-similar =) > Also, I was wondering if anybody here had any "continent creator" > software.

I have a nifty one I spent $1000 on. I wrote a program to create whole planets and visit them in CGA about 13 years ago.

I may put up a "Real" landscape later, after Parts 2 and 3, if anyone is interested.

It can't be that difficult. Now, I'm not talking about mapping each square foot of the continent. I just want it to say, "Here's where the mountains are, here's some valley, a desert over here, and some dessert right there on the table." Okay, forget about the dessert part. Got it? Now, where do I get it? Mr. Packard, when are we going to get to start exploring your virtual planets (see SimCity 3000). Later! ck
