It's possible that I have enough maps already, so unless the algorithm changes dramatically I won't really need any more for my presentation Thursday. I may, however, send a few more along that demonstrate how changing the starting parameters affects the final result. If I do send more and you find yourself too busy to respond before Thursday it's no big deal - the graphics are just gravy, so to speak.
Maps identifying each continent by color would be a lot of fun, but not
necessarily all that useful. Now that I've calmed down a little from the
initial euphoria of the continent IDs, I'm leaning strongly toward your
previously stated guess/opinion - there's too much arbitrary overlap in
the final continents. I think the continent IDs as they now stand may be fine for Country IDs, but we don't currently have any use for countries.
I really should spend another 8-10 hours on the project before turning
it in, so one possibility is that I'll work on providing true continent
IDs somehow.
