This morning's prompt is 'ice pick'.

This weekend I need to finish a world mapper project!!!

The bureaucratic survey is as good as anything.

Stacks of Quads

Oops!

Make triangles out of a grid of quads, from the areas inside the sinusoid shape. Sinusoid shape and grid cell size based on the resolution, which is a rez of >=10 px, based on the number of rows from pole to pole.

This morning's prompt is 'globe and anchor'.

(the bird looks like a turkey...)

I need to go back to the cracked eggshell world map, inside a sinusoid...

This morning's prompt is 'dream catcher'.

So, back to splatting out land and sea bits. We have a planet and a rectangular world map based on circumference and pole to pole is half of that. Surface area is circumference squared divided by pi or diameter squared, times pi (diameter being circumference/pi and circumference being diameter*pi). You could also find surface area by multiplying diameter times circumference! 8-P

Some ruthless bureaucracy might divide worlds into 1 million km^2 development areas from equator to pole, rounding down some each rough thousand kilometer quad is at least a million, up to a round polar area, the remainder.

This morning's prompt is 'mead'.

Or we could fill a grid inside the sinusoid...

This 🌅 morning's prompt is 'asteroid'.

(which I know I have done before!)

Build 1 m. km^2 triangle fans

Oops!

Random polygon tiles as triangle fans from pole to pole.

This morning's prompt is 'ice giant".

This morning's prompt is 'roiling star'.

Back to orange peel

Oops!

Each peel is a stack of quads from pole to pole...

This morning's prompt is 'fern'.

Quality Control; Make sure each diamond quad is >1 m/km^2

Oops!

Columns and offset rows of diamonds...
The height of the rows varies by a small amount and the circumference is divided by the row height.
I want each row to be so many diamonds wide that each is at least the 1 m.km^2.

This morning's prompt is 'deli case'.

Change Resolution

Oops!

Columns and offset rows of diamonds...
The height of the rows varies by a small amount and the circumference is divided by the row height.
I'm going back to rows of quads...

This morning's prompt is 'door'.

Row Height

Oops!

Sideways

Oops!
