# Procedural Terrain Generator

An OpenGL 3.3 and C++ program that generates unique landscapes using [Perlin Noise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlin_noise).

## Building

To build, you must have [CMake](https://cmake.org/) installed.

Start by cloning the repository and creating a folder named build:

```bash

git clone https://github.com/piigle/procedural-terrain.git --recursive

cd procedural-terrain

mkdir build

cd build

```

If you are on Linux, you will have to install some dependencies:

```bash

sudo apt install mesa-utils libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev mesa-common-dev libglew-dev libglfw3-dev libglm-dev libao-dev libmpg123-dev

# for X11 I found that I needed to install the following

sudo apt install libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev

```

Select your generator and build, for Windows I usually use `"Visual Studio 17 2022"` or `"MinGW Makefiles"`, as for Linux, I use `"Unix Makfiles"`.

```bash

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" .

cmake --build .

```

Make sure that you run the executable from the root of the project or else the shaders and assets will fail to load.

Contact me if you have any questions or trouble concerning the build process.
