A world map generator in php.
This php script selects randomly 3 cities from a CSV file and draws these on a worldmap.
No cities wil be choosen which have could cause a drawing overlap.
Every player can see the same generated worldmap with a countdown timer.

Used world image to draw on.
The squares and city names are dynamically drawn using php GD lib.
apt-get install apache2 php php-gd
php example:
// create image from source
$src = imagecreatefromjpeg('world.jpg');
$dest = imagecreatetruecolor(1920, 1080);
// 1920x1080
imagecopy($dest, $src, 0, 0, 0,0, 1920, 1080);
// assign color
$white = imagecolorallocate($dest, 255, 255, 255);
// rectangle example
imagerectangle($dest, $x, $y, $x2, $y2, $white);
// add text
Imagettftext($dest, 24, 0, $x, $y, $white, $font, "Text");
// set header output as image
header('Content-Type: image/jpg');
// output to browser
imagejpeg($dest);
// output to file
imagejpeg($dest, 'generatedworld.jpg');
// Free memory
imagedestroy($dest);
imagedestroy($src);
world.php is included as image, it dynamically generates the map
