Seemed like a pretty swanky tutorial so I decided to give it a go in Pygame :D Took me about an hour with getting the algorithm small. I also started with using 8 corner neighbors + self when determining whether to become a land or island, but quickly learned that 4 corners (up, down, left, right) + self is a much better alternative.
If you want to play around with the source, try modifying LAND_COUNT (1-15), LAND_RATIO, and SEA_RATIO. LAND_COUNT is the initial how many land blocks will we generate off of, and it randomly chooses to be a sea or land based on neighbors.
And of course full source
