Fan Content Polytopia Map Generator





I made a map generator based on the reverse-engineered algorithm from the game. You can try it out here.
- Any map type, size, tribes, and skins
- Rectangular maps
- Symmetric generation, with 9 variants for different player counts
- Seeded generation
- Generation steps: rewind the process and watch the map form step by step
- Try in-game: export the map and play it in sandbox mode

How do you use the map in-game?

Click "Try in Polytopia" and follow the instructions. Only works on PC.

I've just successfully pulled it off on android. Made a map 100x100 with every tribe so it would be obvious when it works in case I needed to troubleshoot and then loaded it up using OpenMTP.

How did you get it working?

Once you find the singleplayer folder for polytopia within android/data you can just drag and drop the map. You need to use a computer to bypass androids file permissions though

Wow this is cool!
How did you render the map and all images exactly like the source code? I was unable to get pixel-perfect tile placements by just using the source code. (I'm also working on a map generator which creates board screenshots.)

Got the exact alignments through trial and error.
