Tessellations: a nonsense map

[Ribbiks]

Got bored today so I drew some shapes for a few hours and came up with this:

(boom compatible, no difficulty settings)





drawing those Penrose tiles in doombuilder was a bitch.


edit: I guess it's probably obvious but the general style was ggg-inspired

It's beautiful!

See? Even drawing shapes in Doom Builder you can come up with some interesting concepts in mapping. I'm all for obscurity and unorthodox, man.

Neat structures, thanks for sharing. The penrose keyword led me here which was pretty interesting:

(the penrose structure lacks some upper textures by the way if not intentional, if you plan to upload to idgames or something, but not really that noticeable)

Also numpy.fromfile interested me here:

as it looks like a good way to read and maybe write binary data to a wad file in python, but I probably want to switch to c anyway.

cha! Penrose tiling is really interesting. I was planning on making that section bigger, but it's kinda tedious to draw those sorts of things in doombuilder, I was sitting there with a calculator assigning (x,y) values to vertices -.-. Also yeah there are a few miscellaneous missing/randomly-chosen textures, but I don't really intend on putting it on idgames or anything, so whatever.

ya numpy kicks ass. I've been telling myself I'd relearn c, but python is way too fun/easy for the small projects I work on.

Try WadC instead, very useful in repeated structures like the Penrose.
