[QUOTE="Thomas Hobbes, post: 1812249, member: 8623"] I'm running a PbP game for me and my recently-dispersed-across-the-country friends (college tends to do that), and I'm finding I have to do all my maps in ASCII. I.e: [code] ____234_____________________________________________________ 1K5 CW T6 HH Uj7 h& HH %Ja8 $#@9 _____!___________________________________________________ [/code] With each of the letters being a named character, the H's being a horse taking up 4 squares, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 representing bandits 1-9 and !, @, #, $, %, ^, & representing bandits 10-16, since putting two digits messing everything up. This is a [i]tremendous[/i] pain in the butt, and the message board we're doing this on, which is run by a friend of mine, has no "upload pictures" function. I at one time found an online flash application on which you could draw a map on a grid, convert that map to text code, post the code, and other people could cut-and-paste that code back into the application and see the map. Anyone know of where I might find this, or any other mapping solution? [/QUOTE]
