CSC471 Spring 06 Final Project

Terrain Generator

Features:

• Read in a grey scale height map and generate terrain based on it.  In the height map, darker shades represent low elevation and lighter shades represent high elevation.
• Through the command line, you can change the number of quadrilaterals drawn to represent the terrain (like changing the resolution).
• Through the command line, you can multiply the ratio of the height to the world to affect how flat or rugged the terrain is.
• Read in a texture map that is textured on the terrain.  Through the command line, you can either have this texture stretched to fit the whole terrain (image appears once) or tiled so the image is mapped to each quadrilateral drawn.
• Explore the terrain through a first person view.

Usage:
