2·
1 year agoThe Mercator projection is kinda already using cos, which the maps looks so different from a globe at the poles.
But yeah, there’s bound to be some other fun ones, lat = abs(lat) being the obvious other one to try, but maybe an anti-mercator could be fun.
I guess showing the higher of the two (so doing
east ∧ abs(west)
), but it’d be interesting to add them together (east + abs(west)
) and see what happened to all the mountains. Maybe if the sea level changes we’d get new islands entirely.
