New Algorithms

I tried to use a new algorithm for mountain building (prior to this I was using my own invented one) called Midpoint Displacement. Basically what happens is it finds the midpoint of each line segment and creates a new point with a randomized vertical transformation. After several passes of this it creates something like these (the way that I implemented this is quite different from my previous program so I still haven't worked out a good method of display yet so it looks kind of cool/weird):
