			Minimap / Radar experiments so far ... just raw ... 
The map layout is generated via code, but you can open it in an image editor obviously, although I didn't spend more than a couple of minutes on this.
Ironically, I used software rendering for this task.  I actually started by looking into alpha transparency in software renderers, noticed the pixel functions and switched gears to this.
