I’ve just uploaded a new version of the 40k map with around 800 more locations, taking the total to over 6500. Settings Control I’ve changed the way the settings control looks both in terms of the expanded view and the icon. The icon is now a cog (which is more reflective of a settings menu). […]

I’ve just published a small change to the Warhammer map project. Performance These changes should hopefully improve its performance slightly. It’s still not quick by any means, but I’ve sped it up a small amount. Changes I’ve made in this regard are to load the various features of the map in small chunks, and not […]

I’ve updated my Warhammer 40k map to finally fulfil the purpose I created it for: to display a timeline of events that occurred during and lead to the Horus Heresy. The map can still be used to see all the planets and regions within the galaxy at the time, but now it has a timeline […]

So, from last week I’ve managed to do naff all coding other than minor tweaks to what I already have. I’ve not been idle on the project, however. I’ve been making a list of all the planets, areas and features that I can and positioning them on an image. I’ve then been getting the coordinates […]

I think within about 4 links I’d found a fiddle that gives me the starting blocks for making the map and have it so you can drag and move around. https://jsfiddle.net/mekwall/zd5TJ/embed/ I immediately made a JSFiddle account so I could fiddle with […]
