Was thinking about how to make a location-specific version of Fruit Farmer for Geneva where LIFT is taking place, and where Tom will be talking about LocoMatrix. Anyway, it got me thinking about using a satellite map to mark out some fruit. One would need to overlay a grid of the correct dimensions (notionally at the moment 15m – but I think we will make this variable in the future to give bigger overall size). Then one could mark the centre of one cell with exact coordinates (long, lat), and put fruit and obstacles in the other cells. One needs to convert the data into a format similar to our existing Level Designer. (note: if you want to try this out, you will need to register and log in on the site). I will report back when I have tried this out.
