Planet Thing

Coolness★★★★★★★★★★7%
Here's my jammy entry. It's nowhere near a game, but it's kind of a fun exploration and discovery toy. Type in the name of a planet to discover, and it will let you walk around a small patch of terrain.

Also can be useful as a landscape making tool. There is a "terrainCache" directory where it saves the height data, color data as normal maps.
