Description *snip*

for this map, I set out to construct an asymmetrical map that utilizes dual rows of thwumps to form twisting lines. the thwumps are not permitted to move more than six spaces, and not more than three adjacent thwumps are permitted to face the same direction. after sketching out the lines with e-tiles, I placed the thwumps as fast as possible so that I could not follow how the thwumps would interact and basically keep myself in the dark. in doing so, each hastily placed thwump has an effect on its neighboring thwump, and then that thwump has an effect on its neighbor, etc. the result is an additive sort of incidental mapping. I tried to remove myself as much as possible from forming pathways, leaving the map a product of spontaneity and, in a way, indeterminacy.

Great idea

and masterful use of the versatility of thwumps functioning both as a threat and as "means of transport".

Oh, and by the way, this is frighteningly similar to the maps you submitted in my dreams.
