// ComposableGenerator.h

// Declares the cComposableGenerator class representing the chunk generator that takes the composition approach to generating chunks

/*
Generating works by composing several algorithms:
Biome, TerrainHeight, TerrainComposition, Ores, Structures and SmallFoliage
Each algorithm may be chosen from a pool of available algorithms in the same class and combined with others,
based on user's preferences in the world.ini.
See http://forum.mc-server.org/showthread.php?tid=409 for details.

A terrain shape generator takes chunk coords on input and outputs a 3D array of "shape" for that chunk. The shape here

composition geenrator.
The output array is indexed [y + 256 * z + 16 * 256 * x], so that it's fast to later compose a single column of the terrain,
which is the dominant operation following the shape generation.
The generator may request biome information from the underlying BiomeGen, it may even request information for
other chunks than the one it's currently generating (neighbors - for averaging)
