Re: [Rails-devel] Bugs fixed

Erik,

If you haven't seen what I sent to Brett, and posted, it might be worth you
taking a look. I had started building up and 18XX Engine with the primary
(initial) focus on the map and tiles. The application is not a complete
implementation, but I feel it shows a much better Map and Tiles. It does
allow the map to be scaled up or down via a slider. All of the information
on the Map is drawn by the code, the cities, towns, track segments, blocked
hexsides, river graphics, mountain graphics, port symbols, etc. I do have
the desire to see about incorporating my code base in with the Rails Code
Base over time. But I need to work out a plan to do so.
