After the 100m dash...

When in a swimming race (ot at least when I've competed in the few swimming races I've been a part of), you see your competitors lined up...you dive into the water...you kick against the water and guide yourself with measured strokes...you generally keep your head down and focus on the task at hand.

When you reach the finish line, you see the results of the competition. Some may have finished before you, some may have finished later, and some may not have finished at all.

NaGa DeMon is still going on for some of the world, but for me November is 8 hours ago. Now a time for reflection and a period to gain closure for 2012.

If you've been reading, and you participated in NaGa DeMon, I'd like to hear about your accomplishments (or the troubles you had along the way). Leave a note here, or a link to the work you've been frantically trying to develop over the past month. I'd love to see what everyone else has been doing.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
