# Azgaar Fantasy Map Generator - Enhanced Fork # Azgaar Fantasy Map Generator - D&D Grid Enhancement
# Note: I use AI to assist with my writing due to mild dyslexia and other issues. The ideas and I would say 50% of the code are mine; the formatting is assisted. **Note on Tooling & Accessibility:**
I have mild dyslexia and use LLMs/Antigravity AI as technical prosthetics for writing and implementation. I architect the logic, design the structure, and define the best practices; the AI assists with the Java/JavaScript syntax and grammar formatting. If the documentation style seems overly structured, it is an intentional accessibility choice. I am always the one directing the logic and the "why" behind the code.
This is a personal fork of [Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator](https://github.com/Azgaar/Fantasy-Map-Generator) with custom enhancements for D&D campaign management.

## Custom Enhancements in This Fork ## Project Overview
This is a personal fork of [Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator](https://github.com/Azgaar/Fantasy-Map-Generator).
### ✨ Grid Auto-Numbering Feature As a long-time DM and SysAdmin/DevOps engineer, I needed a way to reference specific locations during tabletop sessions without manual tagging. This fork adds a **Grid Auto-Numbering** system designed for D&D campaign management and map indexing.
Added sequential numbering to grid cells for easy location referencing in D&D campaigns. ## Features: Grid Auto-Numbering
This enhancement adds sequential coordinate numbering to grid cells (0001, 0002, 0003, etc.) starting from the top-left of the map.
**Features:** * **Dynamic Logic:** Numbers align automatically to Pointy Hex, Square, and Truncated Square grids.
- Sequential numbering (0001, 0002, 0003...) starting from top-left * **Style Control:** Font size and color are fully adjustable via the Style panel to ensure readability against different map backgrounds.
- Customizable font size and color * **Integration:** Toggle functionality is built directly into the existing "Grid" layer settings within the Style panel.
- Toggle on/off in Style panel * **Documentation:** Technical implementation details and logic can be found in GRID-NUMBERING-README.md.
- Perfect alignment for pointy hex, square, and truncated square grids
**Usage:**
1. Enable Grid layer (press `G`)
2. Open Style panel → Select "Grid"
3. Check "Show grid numbers"
4. Adjust size and color as desired
**Documentation:** See [`GRID-NUMBERING-README.md`](./GRID-NUMBERING-README.md) for full implementation details.

--- ## Contributing / Upstream
This feature was built to solve a specific table-top gaming need for my own D&D world. If there is interest from the main project or other contributors, I am happy to discuss contributing the grid logic back to the original repository.
## Contributing Back to Original Project
If you're interested in the grid numbering feature, please check out the [original Azgaar repository](https://github.com/Azgaar/Fantasy-Map-Generator) and consider starring it! The feature could potentially be contributed upstream if there's interest.
