8-bit Google Maps (for NES?)
« on: March 31, 2012, 05:39:21 pm »


It actually works -- go to Google Maps and click the Quest button in the top-right corner. (It even does 8-bit Street View!)

EDIT: Or try this: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?t=8&msa=0&msid=112511971366097304570.000491e09377a0b196972

This is cool. I looked at my house in 8-bit graphics.
My projects
 - The Lost Survivors (Unreal Engine) ACTIVE [GameCommandoSquad main project]
 - Oxo, with single-calc multiplayer and AI (axe) RELEASED (screenshot) (topic)
 - An android version of oxo (java)  ACTIVE
 - A 3D collision detection library (axe) RELEASED! (topic)(screenshot)(more recent screenshot)(screenshot of it being used in a tilemapper)
Spoiler For inactive:
- A first person shooter with a polygon-based 3d engine. (z80, will probably be recoded in axe using GLib) ON HOLD (screenshot)
 - A java MORPG. (pc) DEEP COMA(read more)(screenshot)
 - a minecraft game in axe DEAD (source code available)
 - a 3D racing game (axe) ON HOLD (outdated screenshot of asm version)

This would fit well on a CX with NESpire :D
(but without internet ? ???)
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

Someone would find the way to go on Internet via USB.
Or maybe via the yellow wifi module (problems: it is yellow and not everyone owns one).
Or maybe a mad coder could hack it to the root and implement a map in it (not reasonnably doable, I guess)
