This morning I’ve burnt the hours whittling away at my Settlers of Catan map generator. It’s sort of a silly project, but I have now produced some form of results. A quick drop of the map in to my raytracer (another of my silly projects) and I get this:

But since I like to write code that is re-usable, I used the base Settlers of Catan distribution of resources as a basis for generating bigger maps. So, if one side of the hex map for SoC map is 3, I pumped out a 5 sided map. I can basically generate a map with whatever ratio of goods I want, the dice rolls are there too, but not in the render. The render is just a bunch of spheres, but as you can see, if they are placed apart from each other properly, you get a honeycomb shape.

Anyway, just thought I’d blog some of the extreme geekiness that I am in to. Now to go play some Zelda.

You have to ask yourself, is it more important to get your way, or to always give in?

The truth, like in all things, is somewhere in that hotly contested middle-ground, where we try to match up who we are and how we feel with who we want to be and how we want to feel.

You simply have to see the path ahead, and walk it.

Like the new blog layout?

I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.

In what universe do you and I need to share a moral compass? If we all thought the same and acted the same, what good would it do any of us. Life is for the experiences and the people you chose to share it with. Yes, that is terrifyingly new-age-ish, but if you knew your Wudan history you wouldn’t be shocked by that.

I do not like two-faced assholes at all. They are just about the only group of people I don’t get along with.

That is all.
