Road Maps to Nowhere
For this project, I created a road map that leads to nowhere and that the user could never reach. I wanted these maps to feel as if it the user was had opened up Google Maps while on a road trip.
These maps were created by creating jagged lines that mimic roads and rivers by drawing short line segments that varied in size and direction that began where the previous line segment began. As each segment is drawn there is chance that a white marker is placed as well a chance a completely new branch would be drawn from the current point creating a split in the current jagged line being drawn. I increased the probability that rivers would branch in order to better mimic how rivers move. Additionally, I also randomly varied the thickness of each river tributary to to make the rivers more river like.
