Eventually, it's supposed to be a survival/crafting game with space travel. Hence why it's world-shaped.

Using the heightmap generator from here: https://github.com/TangentFoxy/heightmap

Tasks

• Make a GitHub mirror for this repo.
• Remove heightmap library
  • Update ReadMe
  • ReadMe should also point out where the simplex implementation comes from
• Update the simplex library to the latest version with FBM
• Round the new map generator to a planet shape
• Move tile_size out of the map generator (this is a render feature, not a map feature)
• Turn the new map gen into a wrapper kind of like my heightmap wrapper? (This is sorta already done in a sloppy way.)
• Rebuild the multi-noise map system.
  • Renormalize to Earth extremes. :D (This will probably give bad initial results and need extensive changes.)
  • Use a spreadsheet to map -0.9 to 0.9 to find a mapping function to modify initial values to realistic height ranges! (This was done with -1 to 1)
  • Rename humidity to rainfall.
• make documentation of how this is all working so I can remember when I forget to work on it for a while

Long-Term

• Do all terrain generation within a radius check so unnecessary work isn't done and discarded.
  • Terrain generation steps should happen within a single loop wherever possible?

Reference

• Out of 52 seeds randomly tested, the current code creates a temperature range between -80.64 and 33.78 C.

(Tasks/Issues are stored in the ReadMe instead of using a webUI issue tracker due to how using such a tracker negatively influences portability of the project.)
