The code was born during an improvised hackathon as a result of a friendly dispute about procedural generation and terrain maps. The application purpose is to generate pixel-art terrain maps of a given size using parameterized simplex noise for terrain altitudes and a predefined set of rules for terrain types and colors.

Work is still in progress.

• Main window with UI hints

• Maps exported to image file
