Indeed, see my reply to Thomas.

I don't have any children to teach (yet!), but it's definitely worth planning
for!

Interesting, I was thinking in terms of larger buildings as in business
districts etc, but you're right... must keep this in mind!

Well, don't get too dehydrated! I'll try to post some more images this week
before I become mired in feature creep ;)

In fact, curved streets are made up of straight segments as the house
fronts are (always) straight (except in modern times).

I believe so too.

Yes, a fine idea, but I fear they will switch to the Maya fraction. I have some
experiences with my step-son...
Best regards,

except in old times (pre 1800 A.D.) too.
The old streets of London or Paris would had houses with any front that
fit (e.g. connect to the left & right houses...most would be straight,
but convex curve can occurs). And as you go up, the house would be
inclined toward the street, or have steps for that purpose. (small dark
streets)
With horse-powered vehicles, large entrance doors (to internal court)
would soon get two big protruding stones, to protect the hinge of the
door from smashing touches of wheels.
