It Doesn't Have to DO Anything...

Remember Populous?
Large.
Man, Populous was fun...
Anywho, what we have here is a fun little world-building tool in an
isometric view
. Simply grab your parcel of land, and drag up and down to bring it up or down. While that panel is highlighted, use keys 1-8 on your keyboard to swap out different types of land.
The wonderful thing about this, is how easy it is to change. I went with a Green Hill Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog for the design...because...well, it lent itself to it, I guess. Or maybe
Sonic 3D Blast
really got wedged deep into my brain.
Anyway, changing. If you want more land types, it's easy! I just need to draw it in an isometric view. No programming changes or anything. We could even adapt the programming to use multiple tilesets (say we allow the number keys to now change the FAMILY of tile, and repeated presses will cycle through different panels of that family).
So, have fun. Build things!
