This version of FWMG will generate square, mercator, spherical, and orthographic, stereogrphic and gnomic polar projections of a fractally generated world map, and export it to a gif file. There are no command line options, just type fwmg and press enter. The program will ask you for input numbers and a filename(.gif will be appended).

This program was adapted from the most recent source of the CGI version at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~johol/fwmg/fwmg.html . It was compiled using the free compiler DJGPP version 2.02, and uses the random number function from that compiler, so it will give different results for the same seed than the CGI version will produce.



Changes:

1999.12.09  I changed the comment text that is put into the output gif to indicate that it was made by the dos version. Changed the scroll distance bugfix to only be used for polar projections, which is where it is needed.

Known Bugs:

if you enter a string that is too long the program will screw up.
