I haven't really messed with isosurfaces.  I don't think they would be able
to produce a random landscape like this.  This one takes a seed value and
creates a new landscape each time, and it allows you to control maximum
height, rate of ascent/descent in height, etc.

I came up with a formula where the height of each spherical component is
based on the height of the points around it, and has a random chance of
moving up or down by a percentage of the average of those heights.  The
height of each component is stored in an array.

Ooops... sorry!
