A complex simulation oriented 4x indie strategy game on planetary scale. In this game the player will lead a nation from late stone age all the way into the modern era, all whilst adapting to an ever changing environment.
Ticks/turns now progress automatically. This makes it much easier to run the program. Previously one had to spam the "next turn" button to make the game run.
This system uses a coroutine, which enables the calculations to be dispatched over several frames. I do some time management within each frame to "ensure" 60 fps. How this is implemented in more detail is shown in the video below.

Rivers now diffuse water, which makes vegetation along rivers in the desert possible. I've also added some more perlin noise in the initial elevation...
This version finally introduces some early gameplay. It is now possible for the player to build industries on tiles. These industries consume and produce...
Recently improved the map generation of my upcomming game. I use perlin noise to create an initial primitive map. I then apply tectonic uplift (also from...
This update introduces a fauna simulation which runs on top of the flora simulation. There are 2 kinds of animals: herbivores and carnivores. Both are...
The 0.0.7 version adds a vegetation simulation. Vegetation growth is dependent on precipitation, light and temperature.

Well done, the way you've combined the erosion sim technics is beautiful!
Great job. You can now simulate Norwegian and Chinese geography. A lot of broad flat bottomed valleys were once lakebeds. Many plains were likely always plains (looking at you Kansas and Argentina). A few others like the deccan, Idaho, Eastern Washington, parts of Siberia, were originally mountainous, but filled in by lava.
I cannot do or understand math, but I look at these magic equations and graphs and heatmaps and I'm, pardon my French, super ***** for this project. I might not be able to understand the systems at play, but I love looking at maps and leading imaginary countries. I hope this really goes places bud.
I wish you luck with this ambitious project
