Anyway, what he wants to know is...when you get your score at the end it gives you your distance travelled in kilometres, but how much is a km in game distance? Or how much is a single square, and how many squares make up a km? Something like that.

Re: Distance
I think I decided 1 tile is 3.33 meters and scaled up. It seemed a reasonable value to me at the time and quoting distance in "real" units felt more in character with the game (i.e. hiding the mechanics) than quoting tiles moved.
As they say, however, it has no basis more reliable than my own meandering thoughts...

Re: Distance
Ahh, okay...it would be interesting to see how many tiles I've moved as well, since it would mean more than just a number of kms...ugh I did so much running away, my number would probably be huge lol

Re: Distance
Well, you can easily calculate this on your own, can't you? 3 tiles are 10 m, so 1 km is 300 tiles right? Just take the km distance and multiply it with 300, voilá!
