By that I mean a mathematical logarithm and not the write to log file command that does seem to exist.
It's hard to believe it would be missing but I can't seem to find it.

It really does seem to be missing so until such time as it gets implemented (if ever), here is a natural Log function:

Certainly:
Determining a power of 2 value dependant upon an unknown width for procedurally generating a 2D terrain.

I wrote an approximation function ages ago which I originally placed inside the Useful community function which seems to have been deleted - not sure why.

You can specify a base, the value and accuracy (from memory 30 gives an accurate result).

There are no bounds checking so if you pass in mathematically invalid values, it'll still return something.

So that's there if anybody needs it.

???

did you use it to repeat something from how it looks?

for me its just a random terrain from left to the right screen
but the randomness have a seed.

for a terrain i think i would simulate the density in height
and then sag together.
