Car Dealership

Postby Fuzzy316 on Thu May 05, 2011 2:08 am

I have an idea for a car dealership as a map. It includes vehicle types, office building, security, and parking lot zones. The version i drew happens to include 70 total regions, 10 total zones, plus zone bonuses. There are no actual names involved, so no need to worry about copyrights form car makers. I don't have a scanner to put the image into the system, so I need to come up with something that can help me put it here. I would also need some assistance with the coding set up....


Any thoughts?

Well, what I guess I am really looking for is assistance in the creation and coding on the map, as well as someone who has actual artistic talent... I do not really have any and the map I drew was done using MS Paint... I don't have tools or software to actually draw with, no scanner, etc...

I was also wondering who thought this would be a good idea. For a basic view of what the map would look like, and I do mean basic, see the image I drew below.

Well, I must say I'm not fond of the theme, but I am impressed with your drafting skills. I think you should put your efforts toward a concept that more people would be into. Car dealership seems rather drab and boring... Anywho, as far as coding and XML are concerned, I'd be willing to help you out ;)

thanks for the input. I don't think it looks that good, but, hey... all i had to work with was Paint.. I was wondering if there were people out there who WOULD be interested in a map like this... it is a new idea, and not like most of the "world" maps out there... but again.. I can't draw, so I am looking for help on that too...

Another thought would be a Mall Madness type of map.... where there is the food court, department stores, clothing, video, family, etc...

Graphically, no. I meant it's a nice draft in that it's clear and easy to understand.

I could warm up to that idea more than this one.
