Artefact

Using 140 D&D die cast from epoxy resin, addressable LEDs and an Arduino Uno, I recreated the heatmap of monster types vs alignments

Description

I programmed an Arduino Uno circuit to reflect the same heatmap that I have from my data sketch. I had to change the colours to something more visible and I also had to darken the values so that the colours appear more saturated. Using addressable LEDs, I had to cut and solder them to fit a grid. As one of the key components of D&D is the various die you roll during the game, I made 140 die with epoxy resin and used them as bulbs to for the light to shine though. It looks better in a dark room than with light. I filled the bed of the die with granular foliage to simulate the treetops displayed on game maps.
