# Goals 

![map1](map1.png)

### Short term (in js)

 - Create small continent size maps 

 - Semi-realistic heightmap 

    - mountain ridges 

    - valleys

    - rivers

    

### Eventually (probably move to rust or unity)

 - weather / biomes

    - wind

    - rainfall

    - fertility

 - settlement locations 

 

 

 ### thoughts

 

 Torn between making complex and realistic vs just getting a 

 working version done so I can move on to population / biomes 

  / simulation work.

  

 I really love the idea of making a beautiful map -- including

 tectonics, hotspots, erosion, deposition, sub-sampling for

 finer detail etc. in it. This would be a great project for me 

 over the long term I think, yet I'm also yearning to get my 

 hands dirty in population simulation. 

 

 I think my plan for now will be 

 1. get a workable heightmap by end of week

 2. decide on unity vs rust/browser
