For now I've only used clouds and stuff like that. I will add land, sea and other things later, but first I want to be able to get images from a external folder so I can add images external and i don't have to put them into the source itself.

Untill now I have gone through a series of thought on how the world is going to be build:1. First I thought that every gridsquare would be random until you approach/enter it. This meant that every grid was different. There was no cohesion.2. Then I thought that every gridsquare should http://lucidgame.blogspot.com/2008/03/idea-for-worldbuild-and-user-generated.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mathijs Konings)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120646315691527835.post-1407366652523904710Tue, 11 Mar 2008 12:53:00 +00002008-04-07T20:52:58.115+02:00progressTestI've made a little test based on the last test. In this test I tried to make a more consistent random world. The outer 4 squares are a random color, the rest is an average between these colors.I you give attention to the 4 outer squares they will become more static.Sadly enough I had to program each square appart.
