Need Help with VB Program Implementation | Troubleshooting Tips Included

[quddusaliquddus]

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...
