Utopian London
Quelle: Maps Mania ·
Today's #30DayMapChallenge is Utopia . There have been lots of pixel-art maps appearing online recently. I covered several of these projects in my recent Pixelate the World post. For today's challenge I thought it might be interesting to create a pixelated map of London – not as it is, but as it might look in an ideal world. Greater London covers approximately 1,591 square kilometres. If each zoomed-in map tile covers roughly 0.15 square kilometres, I would need in the region of 10,600 images to create enough tiles to cover the entire capital.

Long Distance Runaround
Played on an unbounded chessboard, “infinite chess” feels familiar but can lead to some strange situations. In this position White threatens to give checkmate by advancing his rook one square. Black can avoid this fate by throwing his rook any finite distance to the north, as shown. Now when White’s rook gives check, Black’s king has room to retreat up the board.
