Mostly working on graphics stuff this week. Designed a map layout using the Wesnoth map editor (
http://www.wesnoth.org/), but couldn't easily get it into a single image.
I created a hex grid roughly the size that I wanted in Vassal, then exported it into a .png to check the size of the hexes. I then edited the hero images I had to be the correct size. I also created several cards in the Gimp to use.
Next week I'll probably work through the card game tutorial and see if there's anything useful for this game. Matt suggested that I try using the Heroscape map editor, which might be more easily exported to a .jpg or .png, but I haven't looked at it yet.
In class we mentioned this online browser vector (SVG) editor which might be useful:
