    Is there a reason to use 100 PPI? If the end result is to be used on any digital/screen related media it's best to use 72ppi since that's the maximum screen resolution.

    72 dpi was a good number back when the fishtank Mac was king and the goal was to have each black and white dot on the screen correspond to one black and white dot on the dot-matrix printer. A typical Windows screen is ballpark 100ppi for a basic 1920x1080 24" monitor and goes to well above 300ppi on smaller 4k monitors.

    For the purposes of this tutorial, though, the dpi is irrelevant.

    Hi, just thought I'd add a map I created using ideas from the tutorial. A different end style, but the random generation of buildings is awesome. Thanks for the tutorial.
