xmountains Description

xmountains is a project which renders a fractal mountain range. xmountains is a project which renders a fractal mountain range.xmountains is a classic X11 hack that renders a fractally-generated mountain range that slowly scrolls across your desktop.The basic idea behind a fractal landscape is to generate a continuous surface which varies in height randomly but with the random variation obeying a particular statistical law. In the case of a fractal landscape the average difference in height between pairs of points separated by a distance l should go as a power law in l. If you are only interested in random terrain generation rather than fractal self-similarity then you could use other functions of l that tend to zero as l tends to zero. If the function does not tend to zero then the result will not be continuousWhat's New in This Release:· Added a -n flag to set the number of colours. · This changes the same parameter as -B but you request total number of colours.
