Size comparison, Foundry/Sandbox
Posted By: pete_the_duckDate: 1/30/09 11:30 a.m.

In Response To: Sandbox? (Cocopjojo)


Today has been pretty boring so far, so I decided to try to figure out the size of Sandbox relative to Foundry. Because I wasn't concerned with actual size, I just needed something that was common to both maps in order to determine the relative size of the grids present in both maps. The mongoose fit the bill pretty well.

Enjoy my fuzzy math. Yes, it's not exact. I don't think it really needs to be perfect, but I still put in effort to avoid being sloppy:

151 (sandbox grid)/194 (foundry grid) = .778
So, the grids on sandbox are 77.8% of the size of foundry's grids.

The next step was to count the grids. Here's what I came up with for sandbox;
24x48

And foundry is
17x22 (checking Bungie.net's heatmap, rounding up, and excluding the bases and back hallways)

I want to work in terms in sandbox grids, so foundry is;
17(/.778)x22(/.778) = (about) 22 x 28

Hmm.

Here's the visual conclusion:

And that's just the flat area we have to work with.

(If I made any mistakes, 'oops!' ;).. take it for what it's worth; a few minutes amusement to get a rough estimate)
