Acknowledgments
These people did all the hard work:
- Thanks to para for the Wiiuse library
- Thanks to Paul Martz, who wrote a very helpful article about the diamond-square algorithm
- Thanks to Max Russell, who is much better at math than I
- Thanks to Team Twiizers for their contributions to the homebrew community -- without you guys I'd never have even tried
- Thanks to TheBlasphemer, whose nifty RGB to YUY2 routine I blatantly lifted from the WiiRayTracer demo
- Thanks to WinterMute for the extremely enlightening How to use the Wiimote tutorial
- And thanks to River for being my alpha tester <3
