Nice project. It is strange that all the code is in index.html. I was expecting something like mountains.js, trees.js ... It is also strange to see power towers in the drawings. Why did you add them? (I guess there s an interesting story in this detail.)

The author has a lot of interesting projects on his page: https://lingdong.works/ though I haven't checked all of them out (I have no desire to watch anyone's face decay). As a geologist, I happen to think that all landscapes are procedurally generated, though it is in general a slower generation process than the computer simulations. Nonetheless I remain fascinated by both the Earth and computational representations…

Thank you for posting this. I might not have discovered his other works page without your comment. One odd thing happened as I was trying to see the software in action. When I clicked on the link to show the software in action https://lingdong-.github.io/shan-shui-inf/ I got a security warning from Firefox. The alternative link https://shan-shui-inf.glitch.me/ did not produce an error. I don't know why.
