I have started looking at adapting this for HexDescribe type reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example: – https:\/\/github.com\/bluetyson\/Map-Generation\/blob\/main\/src\/map.py<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/chgowiz-games.blogspot.com\/<\/a> is working on a epic random generator for a campaign you can read about at his blog – using HexDescribe https:\/\/campaignwiki.org\/hex-describe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see some examples here https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1G8AZf2tBOtGYr5AEKis7_AZYpJ1_T18LFYp_mi_rikY\/edit#gid=1019219400<\/a> and https:\/\/pastebin.com\/raw\/W9zgH3pN<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borrowing his business classifications for an example for the Map-Generation software:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The output for this program is GeoJSON, so thanks to QGIS<\/a> – which is great open source software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randomly perturbed Voronoi generation seems to work well for the random wanderiness of towns or cities that spring up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original code has churches, monasteries and Cathedrals. Pretty sure our D&D type games don’t need that sort of building type overload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as GeoJSON – it has a viewer script that is basically QTing a PNG, so your usual plt.savefig() before that will get you that version of the output, saved, too. Need to make one that is labelled – maybe a geopandas<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Converting this to perl directly would take a bit of work – no higher level geospatial apis like shapely <\/a>around there, so would have to redo in gdal directly :- https:\/\/metacpan.org\/pod\/Geo::GDAL. Probably easier to wrap, for fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
