For those who don’t know already, this is called a Voronoi diagram.
I think I'm too stupid to understand this. How are they straight lines and not at a diameter / in a circle from any given point? It seems... wrong.
What does the separating line between two circles look like?
More… circles?
I've tried to demonstrate it here. You end up with straight lines because it's always a middle point so it doesn't curve one way or another between the two points.
If the circles had a set radius then you'd have empty space and more circley-looking spots. But since they basically expand until there's a middle point you'll have these straight lines.
I was joking. But +1 for the effort and this looks like art, btw.
Oh dang didn't realize you weren't the same person. Thanks for the compliment, I had fun drawing it
Draw it, then consider where the exact middle point would be. Now do the whole line between them. I think that's the best way to figure it out.
