A world generator/simulation for Procedural Game Jam 2014. The world appears two-dimensional, but there is a height value for each x/y coordinate. The map is cyclindrical because it wraps in the x-axis but not in the y-axis.

The simulation uses a number of procedures:
- Procedural "randomness" based on sine curve
- Plate tectonics using vornoi cells
- Constant water volume and sea-level adjustments
- Height Smoothing
- Raindrop Erosion
- Coastal erosion
- Micro-organism arrival via comet and population growth
- Grass evolution and growth
