Purpose: worldGen is a procedural map generator that builds worlds from an integer seed.
Generation: Its generation covers continents, oceans, rivers, forests, swamps, beaches, cliffs, settlements, and roads.
Geology: Terrain is created from multifractal noise and eroded with virtual raindrops.
Climate: The generator models rain shadows across mountain ranges.
Biomes: Thirteen biomes emerge from elevation, moisture, and temperature.
Determinism: The README states that the same seed always produces the same world.
Viewer: The interactive viewer supports pan and zoom, tile details, step-by-step generation visualization, and screenshot export.
Export: The program can export a world blob as a .bin file.
Configuration: Display and generation parameters can be adjusted in config.toml, with additional generation settings in world/config.go.
Requirements: The README lists Go 1.21 or later and a desktop with OpenGL support as requirements.
Platform: The project is a Go desktop application using Ebiten and requires desktop OpenGL support.
License: The repository specifies the MIT license.
Roadmap: The roadmap lists detailed urban layouts, more plant and biome variety, waterfalls, cliffs, and artificial life as future work.
