This is a screen shot from tile game I've been developing with regular Java 2D called Sago War, which is intended to be something like Empire Earth or Civilization. I haven't done much it except implement this nice bit of Java code I've found that creates a spherical bump map, creates biomes, and projects it into a 2D image.

I had previously worked on subdividing each tile and using a grid of 3x3 tiles for a FPS game in Xith3D but gave up on it since I was having trouble with seaming the tiles. I would like to use this eventually to turn planets in Sago Space into a FPS MMORPG on each of the habital planets. Sort of how we expected StarWars Galaxies to be played with RPG elements and space combat.

I'm very interested in this piece of code. Is it OpenSource? Could you maybe attach it?

I attached my modified version for Sago War in the Strategen thread since it seems they would be interested in such code.

The original library is found here.

The home page is here, and I am glad you asked and looked because it seems they have a solar system generator I might be interested in to put the planets in orbits for sago space.

Quite a gem to find since licensing is pretty much public domain with the expectation that an acknowledgement is given on a credits page to the original authors.
