ROADMAP

• finish rivers and roads to determine surface
  • draw rivers
  • draw roads
• ZoneMap
  • Create basin midpoint offset
  • steps after region fill - setting regions' surface type by priority:
    • Order of zone steps: roads > rivers > erosion
• simplify cities into "city seeds"
• conclude wrapGet migration for grids

General ideas

• Optimize canvas rendering
  • Use offscreen canvas
  • When map fills screen entirely, snap canvas to viewport, otherwise translate canvas element
• create world types [medieval, cyberpunk, steampunk]
• Solve [Violation] 'input' handler message by lazy evaluating commands

CivilLayer

• Set city type using a fill from capital point
  • Put inns/outposts at borders of city radius
• Each city in block map can occupy tiles as zones or neighborhoods
• Dungeon types and levels like cat quest
  • dungeons at high level like 79
• Add city ruins on dry rivers or dry land
• create junction points between two route points to set midpath detours
  • follow road and calc nearest junction start

LandformLayer

• type of stretch often make waterfalls or rapids
• canyon / volcano / reef

SociologyLayer

• Start a fill on capitals to determine realms territory

RainLayer

• Make rain dynamic using noise offset and season temp.get(point, season)

Dynamic heat map

• Make heat gradient
• Distort by sine function

API to get points of map as array or other form

Hello, great looking tool. I was wondering if there was a way to receive the final map as an array or object so it can be used with other tools, like transform 2D to 3D or assign textures to each block.

Adaptable layout

• Zoomable map by tile size
• Universal menu

UI parametrization of generation

• Add seal level option

Struct for relief map filtering

• Allow passing filter functions to relief
• Create relief segments for filters (valley, elevation, plain)
