Aha! Merely giving water packets momentum leads to some meandering behavior.
although they seem to meander more downstream than merely outwards. I wonder if that's geologically plausible or not. |

Oh man. We didn't have such an easy way to create animations when I was doing this.
By the way, Dwarf Fortress has a bunch of terrain generation code in it, with vaguely science-based orogeny and hydrology (including having more rain on the upwind side of the mountain than on the lee side, which has a technical name I'm blanking on).
It's closed source though isn't it?
Yeah, but you can check on the worlds it builds and pick up tricks. Tarn is a wayward academic; he's more interested in talking math and how it relates to dwarves than he is interested in monetizing anything.
Also, really, you didn't? Isn't ffmpeg as old as the hills themselves?
According to wikipedia: Initial release December 20, 2000
Which is to say, I am older than the hills.
Looking up ancient internet history, it looks like it was indeed very recent when I was futzing around with world generation. | |
