X4 Map Visualization

Utilities and static assets for processing and visualizing sector/node graph data for X4: Foundations.

Repository Contents

• x4-map.json - Source map data.
• sectors.json - Sector-focused extracted data.
• shortest_paths.json - Computed shortest path results.
• summed_distances.json - Computed summed-distance metrics.
• x4-map-json-processor.py - Preprocessing script for map JSON.
• x4-node-dijkstra.py - Dijkstra-based shortest path calculation script.
• x4-map-visualization.html - Browser-based visualization.

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• No third-party dependencies are required unless you extend the scripts.

Quick Start

1. Place or update input data in x4-map.json.

2. Run the processing scripts:

   python x4-map-json-processor.py
   python x4-node-dijkstra.py

3. Start a local web server from the repository root:

   python -m http.server 8000

4. Open http://localhost:8000/x4-map-visualization.html in your browser to inspect the generated map data.

Notes

• The generated JSON files in this repository are intended as precomputed artifacts for faster visualization.
• If map data format changes, rerun the Python scripts to regenerate derived files.
