Housing Block Generator

Glyphy 1.1b
The Caesar 3 Housing Layout builder script.

Crassus Pauper, one of our forum regulars, was kind enough to help us out with an intricate little Java Script that will assist you in making housing layouts, like the ones presented in this section of the Strategy pages.

Enjoy,

How does it work?

  1. Type in the items in the Character-Input text area
    Example:
    HHHHFHHHH
    HHHHDHHHH
    RRRRRRRRR
  2. Click on The button labeled “Image”
  3. See Legend for all supported glyphs and the assigned characters. Note the image directory must be set to Local Dir.
  4. If you want to save your work, cut and paste your character input into a text file
  5. the program scans from top/left to bottom/right, therefore the following two inputs will produce the same output:

LLHHHHFHHHH
LLHHHHDHHHH
RRRRRRRRRRR

L.H.H.FH.H.
......D....
RRRRRRRRRRR
