Well theme for Ludumdare 17 http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-17/ was Islands.

I had very small hopes of finishing something as I need other things to do. Well decided to screw some of those things and move everything else to Sunday and spend Saturday trying to do something.

Well my initial thoughts were Landscape + Water = Islands -> Landscape being flooded + some things you must do before before it happens... Kind of casual "build Noah arc and collect animals in 5 minutes things"

Here is tech demo I got together yesterday. I have some other versions of it + thinking to add possibility to upload your own height map.

Well Sunday is here and I need to return to some other things so that's where I stop. Will probably work on it more later.

Controls
- Pick if you want to work with water or ground.
- Use knobs to set radius of "brush" and how strong its effect is.
- Use 3 buttons to generate new islands, random grounds or clear everything

Inspired by From Dust and needed to practice a little before LudumDare 2011 decided to play with this thing more + I shared the code on WonderFl here http://wonderfl.net/c/6rvK
Have fun :) BTW called it From Dust there :D
