Shows the first version of an interactive map for The Five Realms RPG.
This map was created from the one by Mark (need a Flickr login and be a member of the group to see it). I removed the black outlines using GIMP because the Voronoi tesselation would oversample these areas. I wrote a Python script to turn any image into a Voronoi map, and then this is the display part made using D3.js.
If you replace the bl.ocks.org
in the URL with gist.github.com
it will show you the underlying code. Alternatively, use your browsers development tools.
At the moment there are a few things to do:
- If I was given various versions of the map (topology, height map, faction ownership) I could automatically assign these to each Voronoi cell.
- The exact number of cells could be adjusted to get a better map.
- There are lots of small cell clusters in certain areas (intentional as the Python script attempts to faithfully recreate the original image) but we could probably add a filter to expand these a little with a minimum cell size.
