i've gotten a map with 18 seperate islands possible 17 round and 1 irregular shape, and also mapped a way to interconnect them all into one giant floating platform, but i dont know how to find the code for it or where to put code in to generate the map shared here. id really like to share it if anyone can explain how.

how do you make it a flying island

many thanks!

random filling (combine with previous comment, this is the first half)

You know, if you're careful and pay attention, you can link the three flying areas into one, large, connected flying city.

awesome thank you! this has helped me recognise loops in my own grids

I found one with three small, symmetrical loops myself:
