Yep, i made my submission to 25lines contest just few days ago (right in time 
), so (as Sakri did some days before me) I’m publishing my code. It’s an easy terrain generator…
Actually, I think it can be somehow improved both in lines of code and actual performances, so feel free to edit or tell me “you’d better to do that this other way…”
What’s going on is:
- generate a shape filled with a gradient to create a reference color for differents “height”
- generate a perlinNoise everyframe for dataprovider use
- detect each perlinNoise pixel depth according with its main channel value (blue in this case..)
- generating a vector of Bitmaps to be employed in the view
