Legendary
Legendary text-to-hexmap tool inspired by
TextMapper. It takes a description of a
map and generates an abstract syntax tree that be transformed into an SVG
visualization of the map..
LegendML
Maps are defined using a domain-specific language called "Legendary Markup
Language", so named because the text provided can be seen as being the legend
of the map. An example output and its source input can be viewed below:

project remains a work-in-progress.
