I'm not sure I know what is happening, but I am definitely enjoying the process. Can comfortably map any continuous function (with the correct domain period) onto a sphere now.

Here's the current compute shader. The height() and norm() functions do 9 octaves of fbm. But I'm really just shoving the code around to see how it behaves. It's conceptualizing the normal vector from the noise to the sphere that's breaking my brain.

I'm relatively happy with the height noise, but it's generating the normals that is proving tricky.

For a monotile, you need the ends to be symmetrical. If you start your edge and track how the paths cross, you can can build that symmetry. The three red lines at the break point here need the complementary lines reflected across the center. So you could.

Huh. Guess I shouldn't buy games in bulk like that. Whoops. Gonna start playing through some games made with @godotengine.org and @godotsteam.com as part of my journey to learn GameDev. Hopefully I'll be posting some reviews/gameplay videos from these, if things go according to plan.

I should probably finish some of the core GlobeGames multiplayer features instead of playing with this very rough, very unfinished, very out of scope feature. But I love this idea so much. Can't wait until it has some more usable tools. #godot

I've had a lot of #chess people comment about the tile or piece colors in Globe Games. I wanted some customization options for the players. I finally started building a simple color picker. Gonna have some default colors to pick, but if you want neon purple? Go for it.
