Hey folks- My googling has brought up nothing so I'm wondering, does anybody know of a website/document explaining the water settling algorithm used by games like Terraria, Dwarf Fortress, etc. ? I feel like there should be a standard best technique already determined. I'm interested in something similar and would like to explore the possibilities in Monkey. I might try to roll my own but I'd rather implement something proven in the field. Thanks for any help!

I was curious what water settling algo is, so I did a little digging in google/youtube, and I found across this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXPdI0WIvw0 There is a link to dropbox in that youtube video description. Unfortunately there are no explanation, but I think you can convert the code to monkey. The other one I found was this: http://vimeo.com/4391370 He uses SPH? His source code seems rather more complicated. Anyway interesting stuff. Hope it helps. [Note] left click the link to dropbox, and not right click save as. If you right click save as it does not save the file but the dropbox page.

Thanks total failure for searching. :( I'll take a look at these.
