| Yeah...everything is accessed from the MENU button

| Refreshing the page does _not_ generate a new map

| It's been on HN a few time before but Townscaper by @OskaSta on
| twitter is also brilliant. He's worth following as he documents
| the development of the projects he's working on, currently a new
| island generator. Really interesting intersection of algorithms
| and art. Often shares other peoples work to thats super
| interesting, I have a feeling he may have retweeted something
| about this city generator but not sure if it's the same one.

| Wonderful fun.

| Pretty cool. I had a city with an open square in the middle, and

| work. I only managed to move the streets.

| This project looks to be on the way to another interesting

| Cool project. The cities feel very old-world, it would be neat to
| have more modern grid-style layouts too.
