That looks very nice uzurpator and very diverse. You said it's easier to code a rectangular tilebased map and I can't see any thing in your screenshot that doesn't appeal to me. Is it a good idea to just vote and see what the majority prefers?

Let's count votes so we can close this topic before the meeting.

Rectangles:
  • Zuu
  • PJayTycy
  • uzurpator
  • Steve
Triangles:
  • Hellfire (I like challenges ;))
  • jfs
Let me know if I've interpreted your votes incorrectly. I'd like to see some more votes though, so I'm leaving this topic open for now.

I'm for triangles, but won't complain endlessly if (when?) we decide on squares.

I was too fast...

We had a 5 vs 3 result in our poll, which means that only 62,5% of the voters were in favour of square tiles.

According to the meeting rules, we need a user poll. If noone objects, I'll make a user poll tomorrow.

Last meeting we noted that the necessary poll havent been made yet. A poll is necessary as at the meeting where we voted about triagular cells vs rectangular we didn't met 66% in favor of neither option.
- TODO until next meeting:
  • One poll for the cell shapes.
  • ...
Can you ChrisCF or Hellfire fix a poll?

Topic closed and processed, final poll resulted in rectangular tiles (08112006).
