Dev Log Entry 0006 - October 04, 2026

##cartographer_cli < v0.3.3-RC1 :: devlog_0006 [2026-10-04]


Cartographer CLI Release Candidate

[ Summary ]:

Cartographer has reached v1.0.0-RC1 after approximately five months of development.

Development started May 5, 2026 with Eden, a procedural world generation system. Cartographer was originally built as a way to interact with the generated worlds.

Somewhere along the way it became a game.

[ Current Systems ]:

- Procedural world generation
- Terrain mutation
- POIs and settlements
- Population, believers, approval, power and progression
- World events
- Cartographic lenses
- Direct world manipulation

[ Interface ]:

The world is rendered as a 25 x 25 Unicode map entirely within the terminal. Coordinate selection and multiple lenses allow individual tiles and world data to be examined and manipulated.

[ Observations ]:

During RC testing I noticed something important.

I wanted to keep playing.

[ Fractal Forensics ]:

How much world can exist inside a tile?

[ Next ]:

- Release Cartographer CLI
