Instant Planet Generator

This is a web interface for Torben Æ. Mogensen's planet generator. (An MS-DOS version is available here.) The output is converted to a PNG via pnmtopng, and then base64 encoded by John Walker's base64 utility. Unfortunately, I have yet to discover a way to make Internet Explorer read the embedded inline PNG. With the advent of the glorious Firefox, I'm starting to care less and less.

Depending on the dimensions, it make take a moment or two to generate the image. A missing or illegal seed value will be replaced with a random one. Any other missing or illegal values will be replaced by default values. An interface to the "find similar" option is not yet implemented. (and probably never will be! ;)
