I tried it, it looks very much made of hexagons... It feels like a wargame map. I wonder how it looks if it's rendered in 3D.

- alexwebb2 9y agoFunny you should mention that - the author happens to have written what I consider the best resource out there for hexagon drawing algorithms for game development: https://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons https://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons
- fenwick67 9y agoIt's using "barycentric dual mesh", which is a lot like Voronoi, so you get lots of 5,6, and 7-sided polygons. https://www.redblobgames.com/x/1721-voronoi-alternative/ https://www.redblobgames.com/x/1721-voronoi-alternative/ If you turn on "lighting" you will get a good idea for how it would look in 3d, I agree it would be cool to set this to a heightmap and look around it in 3d with Google Maps style controls. Dangit, there goes my weekend.
