How the oval blueprint is calculated
Every cell in the grid is tested against the normalized ellipse equation using the middle of the cell: (dx / halfWidth)² + (dy / halfHeight)² ≤ 1. Because both distances are measured from the exact centre of the shape, the result always mirrors left to right and top to bottom, whether your width and height are odd or even.
Choosing a width and height
- A ratio near 1:1 looks like a circle. Around 8:5 reads clearly as an oval without looking stretched.
- Very shallow ovals (for example 60 x 12) have long flat runs. That is expected on a block grid — add height if you want more curve.
- Match your width and height to something you can measure in game, such as the length of a stadium straight.
Building it in game
- Mark the widest row and the tallest column first — those two lines set the whole shape.
- Build one quarter, then mirror it twice. The maths guarantees the quarters match.
- For a wall, repeat the hollow outline on every layer of height.
