Where On The Web is aliiiiive!
|
||
|
||
I built it, and it appears to work averagely well. You can see the code in [the gist on github](https://gist.github.com/jphastings/98878) and soon there will be a mini-video online showing you how it all works. In the meanwhile, just enjoy the pretty colours :D
|
||
|
||
I’ve uploaded a snapshot[^1] of the whole window for you to ogle at too.
|
||
|
||
If you want to play with the code, get ruby installed and then just do:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
gem install ruby-processing
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
or follow [the advice here](https://github.com/jashkenas/ruby-processing/wiki/getting-started).
|
||
|
||
Then download the code from [the gist](https://gist.github.com/98878), find an equirectangular map of the earth, call it `map.jpg` and then run:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
rp5 run whereOnTheWeb.rb
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
(There are more details in the gist) - Enjoy!
