MapSCII – ASCII Map Renderer for the Console

Leave a comment on MapSCII – ASCII Map Renderer for the Console

Color me impressed:

MapSCII is a Braille & ASCII map renderer for your console.

There’s a live version accessible via telnet on mapscii.me:

$ telnet mapscii.me

Panning and zooming using the mouse is supported.

At the base is a vector tileset (from OpenMapTiles), with a Node app on top (written in CoffeeScript) sporting an ASCII renderer. The source of it all is available on GitHub.
