Description
It's been a while! My cold/flu is dying down, so the last few days I have been revamping my terrain generation. Well, I ripped out most of what I had and made a new one from the ground up. Literally 'ground', I guess. Anyway, I finally got something huuuge working: Basic tectonics! If you know about geology, you probably know that the world is broken into huge tectonic plates that carry continents around and move slooooowly over millions of years. Where they meet, stuff like mountains, volcanoes, rifts, and other crazy goodness happens. So rather than just make a "Random Bumpy Surface" (RBS), I went ahead and designed a system for creating random tectonic plates. Each color in the image designates an individual plate. This should allow me to make more realistic, scientifically accurate/plausible worlds, with mountain ranges, clearly defined continents, and other good stuff! Doesn't look like much now, but gimme a few weeks
