alt Hacker NewsI tried making spherical grid planets before, and keep on wondering about the best compromises. Looking at the description, your version presumably has:
Certain blocks corresponding to the corners of the cube, where despite anti-distortion efforts the blocks will have one corner at 120° instead of 90°,
Triplets of blocks at these locations, where turning twice gets you back to the first block,
Blocks that get smaller as you mine down, and then suddenly double in size,
Somewhere, down at the core, a regular polyhedron (what shape is it? Must be a cube) made of pyramid blocks that all come to a point in the center.
OK who's fucking downvoting me for thinking about geometry? If one of these assumptions isn't true, go ahead and tell me.
I didn't downvote you, but you're just repeating what's in the article. And you say "presumably" so it sounds like you're guessing without fully reading? Which isn't adding anything to the conversation.
