The code that generated the board, with the plate counts it produced, color by color.
Code
How this project was built
We used Python to process the elevation and geology data, work out the stack height and unit of each square on the board, count the bricks needed in each color, and produce the printed sheets. Two CSV files contain the unit names, the brick colors, and the plate counts.
Pieces
18,887 plates in 13 colors
The stacks are built from 2x2 LEGO plates on 32 x 32 baseplates. The color names are the ones LEGO and BrickLink use.
