// 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.
