The before
Maps are useful and boring. I wanted a fun one.
What I built
Now you can walk your own street as a Minecraft world.
Features
01Anywhere on Earth
Built from live map, elevation and satellite data, not a pre-made world.
02Looks like the game
Twenty-four terrain types, real building heights, day, night and weather.
03Actually usable
Search, directions and a phone layout. A real map, just more fun.
How it works
- Map data (5 sources)
- Weighted vote per pixel
- Block + height map
- Voxel render
- Your browser
Five data sources vote on every pixel, which becomes a block drawn in your browser.
What I learned
- —Real map data already has everything a game world needs.
- —When an idea grabs me, three focused days gets it working.
Got a fun, slightly ridiculous idea? Tell me over coffee.
