I think that's a great complement.. I think I've stumbled upon a good set of
world parameters this time around. I keep finding little subscenes that I
want to zoom into and render some more (working on one now, actually!) I
thought about the blue sky issue too, but hey I'll take some of that
artistic license ;)

I wonder about taking this Tierra code further, like perhaps a more
physically based simulation, that takes into account glaciers, and stuff...
its got me thinkin ;)
