randomize matrix doesn't give a very good result, there may be a very high hill next to a very small one, and only few people like it ^^
with my system, you can randomize your matrix a bit slower, but I think it works better. if you want to change the maximal height, just modify "c = rnd(255)"

Here's a version that works with DBC
if you want to use it in your game, you have to set the display mode X,Y,32 when you're drawing the bitmap 1
it's slower in DBC because of the 2d drawing commands

Désolé, but the only thing I saw, when I tried it with DBC, was a flat matrix, not like your screenshot.

Let the program run a while longer.
If you have a slower PC, you will see a flat matrix, but after a few mins you should see nice smooth hills.

better rad than bad

Stora is right : with DBC it is very slow ; I need 31 seconds before the matrix is finished and you see only a flat matrix before that...
it's because of the command point => it's very slow because DBC doesn't like the 2d

Nice, although on my system, after adding SYNC ON, viewing the whole matrix I ran at around 17 FPS :-s
