Title: General Glyph Study
Post by: CIA391 on September 12, 2013, 11:11:37
I am currently doing a study on the glyphs its not finished yet, but anyway. Best to prepare a thread here for my results.

In my study I should be able to say

How many Glyphs in total in the streets
Total Glyphs in Momassa Streets:261

How many Glyphs per district
District 0:25
District 3:30
District 4:47
District 5:31
District 6:108
District 8:15
District 9:12
District 10:18

How many of a certain type of Glyph they are.
Basic Glyph:109
Glyph A:97
Glyph B:42
Basic Circle:1
Super Circle:7
Super B Glyph:5
Super Triglyph:1

Direction of most glyphs(excluding most on the floor sadly as they can be any direction)
See file I will add

Give a good location where to find most if not all glyphs as they usually have notable locations
Have a map of every Glyph map may be a edits of scats old superglyph map. But it helped me get to the locations easier.

Still need to do Bonus work if I get to it
Glyphs in Kikowani Station
Glyphs in legendary cutscene

Quick question, does anyone here think Glyph Direction means anything. Doing a huge count of Glyphs including directions, types so on, would be a shame if it was pointless.

If you break it up by districts, we could help you out. I think it would be worthwhile to keep up with glyph direction. I suggest we notate the direction by which 'spoke' of the Y is horizontal or vertical. For instance, this shape:
Code: [Select]
\__
/
would be right, and this:
Code: [Select]
|
/\
would be up.

Could you not tell the orientation of a glyph using the compass? So floor glyphs would be North, East, Southwest, etc.

I was struggling what to consider to be honest. Compass or directionthey face when you see them.

Compass would be the best, I think, as wall glyphs could be givenca direction by the compass too. But no matter, goreay job CIA! :) This is some good raw data after all. Did you btw include the glyphs in the armories (??, the places with mongooses and weapons?) to the count?

EDIT: Yes you did. Sorry for doubting that actually >_<

May be small but there are 7 different types of glyphs also. May be a 7 reference xD
