THE CHALLENGE: Open World Generation using NASA Mars and Vesta Data
Solar System
Create a custom world map generator module using a gaming framework or engine of your choice that leverages altimeter, terrain and imagery data to render realistic worlds. This will involve the use of a World Map Tile Service client to leverage over 1 TB of Mars and Vesta data for use in world generation.
Explanation
