Hello all! Lurker, first time poster. Web dev by trade, hobbyist programmer for fun, working on my first "real" game so everything is new.
I chose SVG for my graphics to advance my learning on that for web and because I'm comfortable with all the web languages. Since I know little about 3d programming and my math is "the suck" beyond trigonometry a 2d game seemed more my style, I can at least visualize it. What I have so far is just HTML 5, PHP, Javascript, and SVG. Those are what the screen you see is from, a web browser. Not a big fan of frameworks and all that so I expect all of this to stay core.

Looking for some insight or workarounds that anyone has noted for the SVG gaps that are wrecking my display. In this image, my lines are drawn in red at the 10 pixel points and the blue lines are my background showing through because there are some weird gaps happening in all browsers. The red lines I think aren't matching my 10px x 10px boxes because I have scaling on the object and those are paths but better to deal with the blue lines first. Is the standard just to overdraw everything and cover up the gaps or has someone found some better way of approaching it? It seems like drawing things larger than needed is just wasted computer work to me but it's all I can really come up with right now.

Relative code that you might want to see that creates the lines.
[source lang="php"]
// This is the view source generated by the PHP that you would see starting drawing on the top left then heading off to the right

<g id="main_field_shell" transform="translate(220.0,0.0) scale(80.0,80.0)">
<g id="main_field_innershell" transform="scale(1.0,0.45) rotate(45)" style="border:none; padding:0px; margin:0px;">

<rect id="0.0" x="0" y="0" width="10" height="10" class="grey">title>0.0</title><desc>nowalk</desc></rect>

<rect id="1.0" x="9" y="0" width="10" height="10" class="white"><title>1.0</title><desc>nowalk</desc></rect>

<rect id="2.0" x="19" y="0" width="10" height="10" class="black"><title>2.0</title><desc>nowalk</desc></rect>

<rect id="3.0" x="29" y="0" width="10" height="10" class="pink"><title>3.0</title><desc>nowalk</desc></rect>

... etc

The lines for the red areas are instead drawn with a path in SVG and not generated in any real dynamic way yet, just some echos so that I can rip all this out later and put it into includes making it easy to comment out with a single line during testing. No one would want to see big red lines and markers anyway but me

Oh, no remarks on the UI graphics needed, this is my testing, not a final version and the game is far from done.

Hrm, no answers, guess SVG isn't a hot topic but it should be The future is calling ... dun dun dun.
I found the issue with the red lines. The moveto(M) lineto(L) were going from 0-10 and that is actually 11, doh.
I'm going to do the offset of 1px each direction since no one has any other ideas on the real problem, the blue lines.
