It's definitely possible to make a decent living with FOSS software. One of the main contributors to my note-taking app is @bjorn[1] who developed the awesome Tiled editor[2] and managed to figure out a sustainable way to earn a living from donations/sponsorships. There are probably more instances of that. I tried to go the same route, but other than a $5 monthly payment on Patreaon (thank you awesome contributor!) I couldn't figure it out. I hate serving shitty Google ads. They are also not a stable source of income and the revenue is low in my case. It's time for me to move on.

> in which a 200x200 map is generated from a randomly created heightmap. The question asker is using a height map because they're nice ways to get pseudo-realistic terrain, and because they're easy to generate randomly. I had a quick look at Tiled[1] and it seems nice. But can it do random generation? It seems it can fix transitions. Here's a basic shore, turned into a nice lake.
