    Program
In summary, The conversation is about a person trying to implement a program in Visual Basic based on a Java program that generates rough terrain. The VB program works, but is missing features such as hills and plateaus. The person asks for help and provides links to both the Java and VB code. They also mention playing with similar algorithms in the past and jokingly refer to a green mop on their head as a hairstyle from the same time period.

Hi :),
I am trying desperately to make this program work. The original program:

http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-08-1998/jw-08-step.html?page=2

works fine. When I tried to implement it in VB the whole thing works except there are no macroscopic features - as you can see its just rough between between points but there are no hills, plataus etc ...

Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

My VB code is here : http://freetexthost.com/cw0w53qqln"

This is what i get (zoomed-out image):

Ive tried changing the value of the rough variable - everything between 0.1 to 0.99999 without success.

Could the values be getting overwritten as diffreent levels of diamond sqaure algorithm are being run?

Just checked the values - they don't seem to be getting overwritten once set.

lol, I was playing with similar algorithms back in early nineties. Some snippets of my Pascal voxel code are still on the net. Part of the code was a plasma implementation - seems like that's the base of the code here as well.

Hm, seems like plasma is called "FractalTerrain" these days...
