Introduction

Hello!
Programming is my passion and I'd like to share it with you by showing you some of my projects.

The universe is filled with an unimaginable number of planets, yet the only ones we've seen so far are those inside our solar system. We've learned a lot by studying them but they're only a glimpse of the diversity that lies beyond. Chances are that any planet we can imagine exists somewhere in the universe.

To satisfy my curiosity I decided to start working on a project that involves artificial terrain generation on a planetary scale. My goal is to create a procedurally generated fractal planet and then improve it by adding physical processes, such as erosion and plate tectonics.
The idea in fractal generation is that complexity is achieved by applying a simple operation onto an object then iterating by doing the same with the obtained sub-objects. By the same principle, I hope to create a realistic world through the superposition of procedural generation and simple physical models.

My biggest inspiration was a  documentary about fractals called "Hunting the Hidden Dimension"
that I've seen a few years ago so I encourage you to check it out!
