Along with my old wheel, I found alongside my official layout notes some fantasy layouts that 12-year-old me created meant for rounds 7-16 of a marathon game. I plugged these layouts unaltered into my artwork generation program, and here's how they turned out (artwork in part derived from MarioGS and wheelgenius prior work): Rounds 1-6 - typical 1988 layouts/TDVs: Round 1 Layout A, 1000 Round 2 Layout A, 2500 Rounds 3 & 4 Layout B, 3500 Rounds 5 & 6 Layout C, 5000
Rounds 7 & 8 Layout D:
Rounds 9 & 10 Layout E: Rounds 11 & 12 Layout F: Rounds 13 & 14 Layout G: Rounds 15 & 16 Layout H: Layouts E and G each replace only half of the layout that came before (like the relation between layouts B and C). They didn't turn out bad, though F and G could really use some color re-balancing. For some reason, I'd decided not to go beyond 10k TDV after layout E, but instead focused on increasing average and median DV. Maybe some day revisions of these layouts may end up on my wheel.

Good job on your awesome layouts!
Those layouts would work great for extended and/or marathon games...but they could also work for tournaments and special events as well.

What did you mean by 'artwork generation program'? Is it a custom thing or software that is available for download? |

What did you mean by 'artwork generation program'? Is it a custom thing or software that is available for download? It is a custom program that I wrote for my personal use that takes wheel layout definitions, wedge definitions, vector paths, palettes, etc., and uses them to generate wheel artwork.
I use it to generate full layout references (like above), renders of individual wedges (like from my Prize Wedge Hunter series), and vector files for vinyl/cardstock cutting. It also tells me what materials I need to make wedges/layouts.
It is an organically grown dirty programmer tool and is not anywhere near polished enough for release. I'd like to make it releasable at some point but it's lower on the priority list.
