Automatically generated maps.

Hi folks.

I'm in the process of writing an application that generates maps typically used in fantasy settings.

I'd like to inform you of my blog which is located at http://generated-worlds.blogspot.com/

I encounter totally different problems from those of you who are artists and handcraft your maps, so if you're interested in seeing my results, and
my challenges along the way, please stop by. And, I'm no real cartographer, so there's a ton to learn; I appreciate constructive feedback. Always.

I'm also posting about my progress at Google+

Happy mapmaking.

Looks very intriguing. I'm interested to see what the generated rivers look like.

[terjebol]

Yeah, the rivers are quite a challenge!

I just added a short blogpost, showing off early attempts at rivers. For those interested, please take a look

Looking good, end result is something I will look forward to

[terjebol]

Thanks! I'm going to try to notify of updated here as well.

I just added another post, showing off some screenshots of rivers, now with tributaries

Today I added landmass textures, and i posted a screenshot on the blog. As I say in the blogpost, this is just the first iteration of many, but I'm feeling a bit giddy, - I think the result is very promising.
