User:Ch4zm/Maps Revamp/Map Pattern Templates

Sections

The most general template: slice the grid into M x N sections

• Depending on how the math works out, stuff different kinds of patterns into different sections
• We have a technique that cuts a grid into 4 parts, and then each part is either 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 mini squares
• should probably have a way to calculate a "minimum size" - rule of thumb? 15 x 15?

Map pattern: west hellmouth (various)

• set of defensive oscillators
• set of offensive methuselahs
• can do three on top, three on bottom, two methuselahs in middle
• can do two on left, plus left methuselah, two on right, plus right methuselah
• can do symmetric, or asymmetric, as long as everything balances

Map pattern: sextants

• oscillators in the corners, methuselahs in the center column

Map pattern: three horizontal stripes

• top stripe, bottom stripe: oscillators/star fields
• middle stripe: methuselahs or spaceships

Map pattern: long string (sunbeam moondog)

• single row of methuselahs, w vertical jitter
• randomly put some of em outta line

Map pattern: spaceships crash into oscillators

Map pattern: spaceships crash into still life patterns

Map pattern: spaceships crash into wicks
