For water reflection pick horizon line across screen, measure from it to top and from it to bottom and scale (fit) the sky into the bottom water section in height (width is 1 to 1). Map!( ) function might be useful. 
Oh heck might try a _PutImage of the sky flipped upside down and crammed into the water section, all I've done is a lakeside view across the whole width but puddles could be made by drawing ground to cover reflected points where you don't want to see them.

The trees have branch widths indirectly proportional to level from trunk. 
   

Oops having trouble with waves BRB
OK hacked a fix, it's been years since I looked at this code.

I tested the _Putimage idea for reflection here: https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=369

RE: alien skies - bplus - 05-08-2022

I have animated the above still shot and used _PutImage for reflecting the animation every 1/30th of a sec. see bplus Proggies thread.


RE: alien skies - James D Jarvis - 05-11-2022

Fiddled with water more. Trying to get the fluid to look like it's not always water but still provide a reflection of the sky. Still far from perfect. I'm getting a true reflection now (positionally) but due to how the routines are setup I'm not getting mountains to work just yet.  ( have to move things about a tad probably pull the ocean code out of where it is in rendering order).
