The pointy end of the semester

Inundated with university assignments at the moment.

Not much time to write much, especially when I'm a bit jaded over the work I've put into Bug Hunt (only to have it appreciated neither by external groups, not by the University academics to whom it has been recently focused).

Once things slow down, I think I'm going to go back to my maps and landscapes... specifically focusing on redrawing a series of mapping tutorials, and finalising that series of landscape imagery.

We'll see how things go over the next week or two.

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
