Made a quick minimap generator. It simply takes all of the various buffers used to create the continent (forest map, mountain map, continent shape, rainfall map, and river map) and composites them together using a set of colors to represent the different map elements. Right now it uses a bump map generated from the eroded base continent shape to add relief shading; that may change in a future iteration.
The attached image is a composite; I haven't yet implemented in-game display of the minimap. Not 100% sure if I want to have an overlay, or a separate map screen for this purpose.
