Fantasy Worldbuilder

I found an interesting program that uses FractalMap to make
mountains/worlds but it seems not to be rendering any fractal
features.

I found the source at https://github.com/tailkinker/worldbuilder

Problem:

Can't seem to type in a seed number (it appears when you make a World
Name) and there is no planet rendering happening (Just faint blue
grid).


I wonder if anyone can figure out the problem?

Hi, Eddie,

Quick search:

I found that
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i procedure
TfrmWorldWizard.CreateFractalMap;begin if (NewWorld <> nil) then
FreeAndNil(NewWorld); NewWorld := tWorld.Create(RandomSeed); 
works better,

but it crashes when accessing the array "political" in gworld unit.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i  with
FractalMap do begin  Political[x, y] := Step;  Political[x + 1, y] :=
Step;  Political[x - 1, y] := Step;  Political[x, y + 1] := Step; 
Political[x, y - 1] := Step; end; 
You have to set "World Name" and "World Path" before clicking "Next"

Good Luck.

Thanks DZandaa for looking at it.

It looks like the World name has to be at least 6 characters long
before a random seed is produced.

I also tried  if (NewWorld <> nil) then FreeAndNil(NewWorld);
 NewWorld := tWorld.Create(RandomSeed);

and I got at least a bit of a rendering happening and then that error
in the array "political" in gworld unit.

The program was made by tailkinker, who is a member of this forum.

Not sure if tailkinker also has the problem of no scene render?

Thanks DZandaa for looking at worldbuilder for me.
