Diamond Square Algorithm The Diamond-Square algorithm is a common algorithm used for simple heightmaps on a square base. Like all simple heightmap algorithms, it cannot deal with overhangs on any part of the landscape. However, it is one of the best algorithms available for minimising recognisable artifacts on the surface, that point to an artificial origin for the terrain.

Results by page [1] World Review: AlphaWorld
AlphaWorld is an artist?s 3D environment with a square landmass, sixty-five kilometres to a side. This gives it four thousand, two hundred and twenty five square kilometres of land ? more than some countries. All of this land is open for ActiveWorlds? paying members to build upon, almost anything they desire.

This top-down 2D world system uses an almost infinite combination of square areas one and two screens wide, which slot together to form a world. World Review: Graal

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() World Review: Marian's World
Marian's world is a little bit of an oddity really. It is a world in which everyone is female, and tither stands about talking, walks and talks, or drives cars and talks. There's nowhere to actually drive cars to, as the entire world is a hilly, swampy island of about one half a square mile, with only three treehouse structures on it, yet everyone has a convertable sports car, and only one set of clothes.
