Hi everyone,

I've been learning Dark basic programming for about 4 months now and want to share a milestone in my progress with the community.

This is my first long term project and is the most complicated I have made so far. The end goal is a long way off, but this stage looks pretty cool to me.

as the title would suggest it is a random island generator created utilizing Blitz terrain, dark clouds, plant life and tree magic.

At this stage you just wander around and look at the island and there is no real goal game wise. I still get a kick out of wandering around and exploring. It has pulled out some pretty cool islands that have at times surprised me.

here's a link to the exe

thanks Kamac,
I will work on fixing the round pond problem.

I also intend to complete the following tasks before I move onto the next phase of this project...

-make night time look better
-add saving capability
-make better ocean ripple
-add beach breakers -(hard problem)
-add sound
-add some wildlife with AI
-try to speed up the tree placement
-improve beaches
-improve rain
-improve GUI
-improved land types and features

My end goal is a randomly generated world that is beautiful to look at and interesting to explore. In the later stages of the project I intend to be able to explore anything from an island forest through to a galaxy, with the scale of the world only dictated by how much hard drive space the user is willing to use.
The key principal of this project is random generation. I want to be able to play my own game and not already know what is going on or what is going to happen.
I have many Ideas I wish to place into this, and I quite often get lost in thought conceptualizing them. One step at a time, and for now I am reasonably pleased with this Island generator.

You can download it by googling it, and then placing it in the same folder
