World Map: location colors

[Jesterhead]

Hello everyone,

Obviously for my game i need a world map, yet it's a diffrent type as travian etc...
My world map cannot expand, the only thing that can change are the background area's of the area's.

example:


So depending on which alliance owns a certain area, the background color changes.
As the area's are not simple squares or rectangles but rather 'random' I have no clue!

Do you guys have any idea how to do this?

Thanks by forward,
Jesterhead

GD, "fill area" (you have to remember in a table or something a starting point in the middle of a region where the fill should start).

It will then fill the entire image? or when will it stop filling?

Google Charts API may be an easy way out here.

Intresting, altough I will be creating my own world and not the earth we live on

Do you remember Basic on ZX-Spectrum? There was a fill/flood function, you put x,y,colour and it started spreading the paint till it find another colour which was treated as a border. The same function exists in GD.
Or the way Konami did their map fill in Genghis Khan.

No I don't, I'm new to the whole "browser game making-scene"

Anyways, thanks a lot! Worked exactly as I wanted.
