At the moment, I'm leaning toward proposing a careful implementation of the basic Alexander continent-generation algorithm in C++, using my own C++ stack class to avoid the "how big does the sparklist get?" issue of previous attempts. I estimate this as a 5-10 hour project; if I complete it according to this estimate, then maybe I'll think of something to add at the end to go beyond previous efforts. I won't worry at all about display issues, and this has the potential to finally give me a "rock-solid" implementation of your algorithm from way-back-when.
