planetoids 0.1-alpha.1

Planetoids is a high level Python API for generating interactive, procedurally generated worlds from data in a pandas DataFrame.

## What is it? Planetoids is a high level Python API for generating interactive, procedurally generated worlds from data in a pandas DataFrame.

## What does it do? Currently, Planetoids is able to terraform a planet from two-dimensional data that has an optional cluster attribute. It’s still very new and will be growing in capabilities, but for now the library can achieve the following when terraforming a new world:

• generates somewhere in _space_ to render your creation

• generates an ecology based on input data statistics

• generates land masses

  • these land masses have

    • topographic detail (contours)

    • relief detail (gradients)

• generates lighting effects in the form of a hillshade
