Hi! I'm Amit Patel. I explain algorithms and math with interactive web pages (incl. pathfinding, hexagons, procgen maps, voronoi). Wrote Solar Realms Elite; helped w/Barren Realms Elite and Realm of the Mad God. https://www.redblobgames.com/
Failed experiment in tectonic plate collision. I was trying to do something quick&easy but it didn't work as well as I had hoped. www.redblobgames.com/x/2319-mapge...
If none of my experiments fail, I'm not being ambitious enough. So I'm ok with having many failures. This was a fun experiment.

It looks really weird! but it matched the "hand drawn" style I wanted. The mountains always point up as you rotate.

Looks cool when animated. Maybe useful as a very cheap approximation to erosion.

Fun variant: add iTime to the angle
float angle = random(p) * 2.0 * PI + iTime;
and then you'll see the little black/white circles rotating around the triangle vertices (easier if you zoom in by changing the /50.0 to /200.0 at the end)
float angle = random(p) * 2.0 * PI + iTime;
