Interactive Game Maps
What it is
Interactive Game Maps is a free, open-source website for finding and accessing interactive maps for games. It can be used on the web, including mobile web, or self-hosted. The catalog lists maps for Aporia: Beyond the Valley, Dead Island, Grand Theft Auto, Haydee, Killing Floor, and Kona. Included maps support layers and custom markers. Contributors can edit marker positions in a side panel and export the edit layer as GeoJSON. They can report missing or incorrect maps through an issue or pull request, and add layers through linked repositories. A GitHub template supports creating new maps. Authors prepare a high quality map image, use a Python script to split it into tiles, then open index.html in a browser. The template also supports map metadata, layers, and marker behavior.
