Terrain Editor
| Earlier this year a buddy of mine and I wrote a C++ program for terrain generation as an academic exercise in Computer Science. We designed it to allow users to generate their own terrain using some easy little tools, and I like to think we did an okay job. Incidentally, it turned out to be a fun little program. |  |
You can download it here. (~2.47MB)
If you’re handy enough, you can also convert publicly available GIS elevation data to our simple format and display some pretty impressive stuff (sorry, I won’t do it for you, though we might later change our format to meet a specified standard…take at look at the example files in the installation directory for some already-converted data). Feel free to play around and let me know what you think!
