Geomorph Shipyard: a tool for creating deck plans

[IvanSanchez]

Hi y'all,

Most of you should already know about the Starship Geomorphs (by Robert Pearce of "Yet Another Traveller Blog"). I like to play with them, but creating ships was a bit of a hassle when it comes to image editing software.

I ended up over-engineering a solution, and have created a simple(-ish) tool to snap some geomorphs together.

I've named it, unimaginatively, the "Geomorph Shipyard":



It's a web application at: https://ivan.sanchezortega.es/geomorph-shipyard/

On the technical side: it's a bunch of javascript, mostly Svelte and Leaflet. Runs 100% in the browser (no accounts, no sign-ups, no cookies, no cloud stuff) and ships can be downloaded as small JSON files. More information (and complete source code, and bugtracker with planned features) at https://gitlab.com/IvanSanchez/geomorph-shipyard

I hope you folks find it useful.

Will the Unique Hull Geomorphs be included at some stage?

Will the Unique Hull Geomorphs be included at some stage?

Yes, and everything from the first book as well (not just the "Adventure class starships" geomorphs). I have some other features in the to-do list (in the git repo butgracker) but I don't know if or when I'll implement them.

This is amazing. I have been using Starship Geomorphs for everything (buildings, space stations) and spending a lot of time editing things. This new tool makes it sooo much easier.
