    looks like a online simplified version of the very very old "planet"
    Torben Ć. Mogensen

    about 10 years ago i made a Microsoft windows build
    ( i run Linux )

    a old windows .exe ( built on XP sp1 or sp2 ) and source code

    or minor updates

    It's actually based on John Olsson's Fractal World Map Generator. The algorithms and results are very different. The donjon people(person?) did add a coloring scheme based on the Mogensen default. That makes the maps look a little more similar.

    I used to love johol's FWMG, but anymore I'd just strongly suggest using Mogensen's generator. Far superior, and with a bit of work you can generate 16-bit elevations.

    PS: FWMG is much much older than Mogensen's planet. And it shows.

    the newer version "planet" the -h ( heightmap ) option dose work
    it outputs a signed integer 32 bit ascii text image

    the old one ( ie the one i built 10 years ago ) can be forced into it by using a color *.col file with values in the 16 bit range
