what i mean is, that the flythrough really shows off the "tunnel" quality of gridcosm. you can pretty easily imagine the levels projected inside a tunnel or really long cone or something. (anyone have access to a sewer system and a lot of paint/time?)

really this means you could "flatten" out this tunnel so that levels were a bit like concentric rings. or something. i think.

so i started imagining scrolling in a direction on gridcosm, say to the right, but also squeezing/shrinking as you go. so you always had a constant height. what would this look like? (and you could really pick any directions, literally any angle, not just right angles...)

well, obviously my simple shell-script math is much too linear for what we need (probably a similar geometric scaling like is needed for the animation), but this gives you an idea of what it might be like walking down the gridcosm tunnel....
