d3js - very interesting find
« Topic Start: November 14, 2012, 03:06:29 PM »
Something I found:

http://d3js.org/

This was for something else I'm working on, but I thought I'd post it here because it is really an extremely cool visualisation library with lots of possibilities.

...that Voronoi graphic reminds me of a 'new map' system that was being talked about around1,5 - 2 years back. Should have broken up regular regions into smaller 'estates' as far as I remember...and possibly even make regionborders fluid. Is anyhting like that still being (even if very distantly) planned?

Yes, but not in the context of BM.

My side-project based on a voronoi-based map system is making slow progress, mostly because as I get into implementation I realize that I need to think big. Really big. Right now, I am considering a fully GIS-enabled back-end. That's a huge thing, but carries so much potential, it's unbelievable what it would make possible.

Because that would be to much work to do?
The only part where BM really could be improved is the visual part.
From battle animations to extremely dynamic and cool looking maps with most importantly, different levels of detail, as in you can zoom into your city and see a unique place in detail.
If this technique can do that, then why don't we use it for BM too?

My time is limited and availability sporadic, but I can always help out with GIS stuff every now and then.
