3D Midpoint-displacement Terrain Generator

[GijsB]

Nothing really special, but it show's you how the midpoint displacement algorithm works. And you change some values with 'q,w,e,a,s,d,z,c' and you can generate an heightmap with 'space'.
Edit : Optimisation! Got rid of some unneccesary average calculating 4-10-2012

Cool thing, but slooow. Maybe you should use a shader?

I should but i don't know how the whole shader thing works

So can somebody please give me some tutorial link xd?

Same here!

I also have no idea how it works, but this article by Twofold Secret might be helpful.

Sadly there's no current 'tutorial' for using shaders to any extent. The largest issue being that shaders have to be coded in the GLSL language which is nothing like Lua. You also have to dig though Google for the GLSL documentation on how the many enumerated datatypes work.
