ROADMAP

• set surface border types
  • create more type of surfaces (w/ borders)
• set biome as { temp > x rain > 4 }
• finish rivers and roads to determine surface
  • draw rivers
  • draw roads
• ZoneMap
  • steps after region fill - setting regions' surface type by priority:
    • Order of zone steps: roads > rivers > erosion
• simplify cities into "city seeds"
• conclude wrapGet migration for grids

General ideas

• Optimize canvas rendering
  • Use offscreen canvas
  • When map fills screen entirely, snap canvas to viewport, otherwise translate canvas element
• create world types [medieval, cyberpunk, steampunk]
• Solve [Violation] 'input' handler message by lazy evaluating commands

CivilLayer

• Set city type using a fill from capital point
  • Put inns/outposts at borders of city radius
• Each city in block map can occupy tiles as zones or neighborhoods
• Dungeon types and levels like cat quest
  • dungeons at high level like 79
• Add city ruins on dry rivers or dry land
• create junction points between two route points to set midpath detours
  • follow road and calc nearest junction start

LandformLayer

• type of stretch often make waterfalls or rapids
• canyon / volcano / reef

SociologyLayer

• Start a fill on capitals to determine realms territory

RainLayer

• Make rain dynamic using noise offset and season temp.get(point, season)
