I've made a small entry @thegodotbarn.com about it : thegodotbarn.com/contribution... I've not explained the algorithm tho ... perhaps i should.

Given a relatively small heightmap (128x128 to 256x256), compute the water distribution from a source to the borders of the map

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

Sometimes you have to take a step back and just realize how much your game can improve if you just keep working on it.

You can easily do 80-90% of contemporary gamedev on Linux. It's not perfect, but that 10x less time having to deal with Windows.
Living with Windows has always been a calculus of how useful it is professionally vs. the amount of unbearable shit you gotta disable with a script and I think we reached a tipping point where it’s majority unbearable shit.

Here is a small terrain generator/renderer in few lines of #gdscript and #glsl in #godot.
The generation part is the most basic one. The vertex shader is just a bit more complex, but not that heavy. If needed, I can provide some explanation in a more in depth post. thegodotbarn.com/contribution...
