I have some problems with the triangles my diamond quad grid to sinusoidal world map is making, specifically that some of them are too small... 8-P

I suppose I should have a proper dev log...

This weekend I turned a square grid sideways, after watching a YouTube video about isometric tiles and realizing that I can do the math and make a nice grin of diagonal quads inside my mollweid oval, or, better yet, push the points sideways where I want them to evenly fill my sinusoidal world map. Then I subdivide the triangles three ways by corners (instead of by edges or six ways with three midpoints and a triangle center point) and group quads around corner points, color them by corner point.

Then, finally, I make lists of point neighbors and corner quads which belong to a given point and use that to set up a random walker. The user picks a tile which gives the page a quad corner point, the page colors all the quads of that point green for land and accumulates the areas. Then, while the sun is less than some target, the page randomly finds a neighbor point, finds it's quads, colors them green and adds the areas to the running total. Rinse and repeat until we have enough landmass...

Still haven't gotten anywhere with the flaming pumpkin I was supposed to do for Halloween.

If make a Halloween pumpkin monster animation, I could have the little player figure blast it with... a flame thrower? 8-P
