Sneeze-landscape

Link to the project

This generative landscape is supposed to evoke a peaceful and calm feeling in the viewer. As time goes by, the landscape eases in and out of night and day. Watching the landscape change colors is meant to reenact the experience of someone watching the scenery from noon until evening. It was generated using Perlin noise for the mountains and fractal trees.

I think that I experienced the most struggle from the lag that the code causes. I am not sure where the lag is coming from, but I was scared to do any other additions incase it would crash my window. I also had difficulty with having the landscape change while keeping the trees static. Since fractal trees are recursive with random adjustments, it was sort of difficult to keep them from changing every second. I was also short on time since I have midterms coming up this week, so I decided not to mess with it more.
