Height Map Terrain Generator

A class project in "Computer Generated Natural Phenomenon" at Brigham Young University to generate height-map terrain using the square-diamond algorithm.

Some extra features were optional for the class:

• Implement square-diamond terrain generation and display (85%)
• Implement Muskgrave's Thermal Weathering algorithm (5%)
• Rotatable display (2%)
• Coloration based on altitude (2%)
• "Cool" GUI features (5-10%)
  • Change algorithm parameters
  • Stepper for Square-Diamond and Thermal Weathering
  • Water level display

Additionally, I added a load/save feature. Also note that the screenshots below have some tearing issues where the water-level rectangle meets the terrain. This doesn't occur on my laptop which has a better graphics card. So your results will vary depending on hardware.
