Now with more cowbell!
Version 0.19
- Rivers and grayscale_heightmaps are generated as PNG images, filenames no longer have to be provided.
- The grayscale_heightmap is now stored as a proper 16 bit grayscale PNG.
- Modified color elevation routines so that depressions are still represented as land instead of ocean and heights are normalied.
- Speed of generation increased by almost a factor of 3 (due to update to Platec and making heavy use of numpy).
- World-generation is now deterministic, i.e. generation is 100% reproducible.
- Added support for exporting heightmaps using libgdal (see https://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html for possible formats).
- Added the ability to modify temperature and humidity ranges as well as the temperature/precipitation curve.
- Added the ability to generate scatter plots showing temperature and humidity of all terrestrial cells.
- Added small variations to the temperature-map based on basic orbital parameters.
- Added a satellite-like view of the world.
- Added support to save/load worlds in/from HDF5-format.
- Removed support for saving/loading worlds in/from pickle-format.
