My mechanical engineering student brother is going to be red-pilled this Christmas.

Now the generator adds forests (marked as '^') and mountain ranges (marked as '#'), as well as polar ice caps (marked as '*'). I was debating whether the forest or the mountain ranges get the carrot symbol given that it resembles both a mountain and a tree.

I would include deserts, but it would be much trickier since they need to be placed where they make sense.

I learned how easy it is to make a planet terrain generation program. All you really need is a recursive function that marks a tile as "land" and keeps on adding land in all four directions until it hits a random threshold.

Yeah, I know that not that many people use MP3 players anymore and that a player that only plays audio doesn't need to be that big, but why does every modern, basic MP3 player have to be ridiculously small?

I just want something to play music, podcasts, and audiobooks in my car that isn't a fucking smartphone. I should be able to hold it comfortably, like a remote and not holding it with three fingers while being extra careful not trying to press the wrong button. Come on, Apple isn't making iPod Shuffles (or iPods in general) anymore. You no longer need to copy their ridiculous design practices.

And if you are going to make a player the size and shape of a flash drive, it should BE a flash drive. The GPX Player I have still requires a cable despite being in a flash drive shape.
