TerraJ is a Java port of fractal terrain and simulated solar system generation programs.

The porting has included extensive refactoring, the creation of a documented API to enable reuse of parts in other programs, and extensions such as new Swing user interfaces. Full javadoc for the classes in the project is available.

The TerraJ suite currently contains the following software:

- Fracplanet - Generates fractal planets and terrains with a wide range of user controlled parameters. Has an OpenGL rendering preview using JOGL and can export to POVRay format for rendering.

- Stargen - Creates realistic planetary systems and stars using an accretion simulation. The resulting text and HTML output is template based and configurable.

- Planetary Terrain Generator - A second fractal terrain generation program. This one does not do 3D rendering but can output images using many different map projections.

- Dole Accretion - An older and slightly less complex star system generator included for reference and completeness.

Requirements:
Java 5.0 runtime environment
