Abstract

This closeread explores the process of using R to create a geographically accurate Catan board of Australia. Using satellite land use data, I classified regions into resource categories (wool, grain, lumber, ore, brick, and desert) to represent the Catan resource tiles. With the help of the sf and raster packages, I processed spatial data to fit a hexagonal grid layout, ensuring each tile accurately reflected Australia's geography. Ports were based off the real-life locations of the highest traffic Australian ports by volume.

Looks good. I had this error in the ports section:

Thanks William, yep that seems to be an issue with the RPubs instance - the Quarto version renders the OJS fine. I'll look to debug.
