The road to HEXROLL|2 - it's a whole different beast (Patreon)

Greetings Brave Adventurers,

Allow me to geek out super briefly and using a couple of diagrams, illustrate how HEXROLL|2 will be in many ways more of a platform, rather than a simple generator.

The current HEXROLL has a pretty straightforward structure. Oversimplifying, it's an executable that when given a set of parameters, outputs one big HTML file:

HEXROLL|2 on the other hand will be structured as an interactive web application:

Instead of generating a single monolithic HTML file, HEXROLL|2 will generate each sandbox as a collection of connected entities in a directional acyclic graph. The backend will be based on SCROLL, and the frontend will be a dynamic Javascript application using SVG graphics for maps.

I promised to be brief, so I'll stop here and share more in a later post.

Until then - enjoy the crawl.
