After more thinking & playing around, I think I'm going to demo Wang 2-corner (called Marching Squares in the blog post above). It seems like a generally useful format, as good for grass/rock terrain textures as it is for Pac-Man mazes.
Now I just need to find (or make) a nice collection of tilesets in this format!
Can you expand on how to use this? I gather you calculate an index number by assigning bits to the 8 surrounding tiles. But that would result in 256 different tiles; this has only 64 (and many of those are duplicates). So I'm confused.
Thanks, will do. MiniScript is a lot easier to embed (and lighter-weight) than Python, and a lot nicer to use (in my opinion of course) than Lua. So I'll send him a note! Thanks for the assist.
Thanks, can't wait to see what you do with it!
These look really nice. Thank you for posting them!
These look amazing! Thank you for contributing them to the world.
Here are the two-corner Wang tiles I came up with, suitable for prototyping, use as a template, or as-is for Pac-Man style mazes: https://opengameart.org/content/clean-2-corner-wang-tileset

Nice work! And thanks for including the helpful link to Guy Walker's explanation.

I used Adobe Graphic (another vector drawing app).
And thanks for the words of encouragement. I think you're right.
Oops, just sent you a PM before seeing this. Well, if you ever change your mind, you know where to find me! :)
