Today's prompt was 'milk cow' and I'll copy paste a picture when I get home and on the Chromebook...


Thinking about how I can subdivide the surface of a world by latitude and climate, broadly as wind and sea currents moderate or doom territory by degrees and centimeters. Again, broadly, where the temperate regions are by latitude, then subdivide the bands into land and sea, etc. 

The surface area gets chunked up into ugly but practical bits of land and sea with temperature ranges, some degrees C in the north and something else on the southern edge. Bordering land and sea tiles make up oceans and continents.

And yet another placeholder!

3 August 2022- Random Areas with 3D cross product!

World Area!

Today's prompt was 'river' (no, not that river, or the other one. The original).


I had a placeholder for some code which I doubt I will ever write last night, sigh... Here's where I want to go and what I need to work on, dongma? 8-P (My river sucks, BTW)

Yet another placeholder

2 August 2022- Random Point Walker!

Square to Octahedron to Sphere!

Today's prompt was 'oak tree'... not very good at all.

Reboot my triangle fan thing

31 July 2022- Triangulate with triangles!

I went back to my initial three points; actually, I added an intitial 3rd pt and made some triangles. The orange is the first three, green and red are with a 4th pt from the cross product of 1st and 3rd, added to 2nd.

Hello!

Today's prompt was 'stolen grain', for which I drew an angry little sketch of a deuce and a half loaded with stolen grain. Soldiers with guns a re standing around while two are finishing up pulling a tarp over the grain. I think that I probably should take another run at this, but I'm done for tonight. I added a few words to my belated august list, need another three weeks yet!!! 8-P


I was thinking today about how I really should just start my world mapper with three random points on the surface of my world and just make a triangle fan, which  will be a singleton, a triangle pair or pair of triangle pairs. If the angle is less than pi/2, less than ninety degrees then it's an 'extreme concavity' and I want to close it off by making a singleton, a triangle fan of one. If the angle is greater than that we start with a pair of triangles and move points around and or subdivide as needed to make things interesting but complicated!
