Spinward Marches sector in HTML/CSS

Andy Rutledge · 03-23-2012, 02:20 PM

As a fun project, I've created an html/css page sector map of Spinward Marches (no images). Not sure what use it is right now beyond reference, but my though is to add on-click behaviors for each system to display detail info in a modal window.

Anyway, hope it might be something you'd enjoy or fine useful.

Kind regards,
Andy

That looks very nice even on an absolute scale. I'm impressed you can do that in pure HTML.

I assume you used some software to crank out the actual text from a database in some other form. That script might be useful so you can feed it other sector descriptions, and have a map of all of known space that you can scroll, just generating a piece at a time dynamically.

Thanks. Actually, I used no database at all but instead hand-coded the whole thing. That's not very efficient (or smart), but as I said it was just a fun personal project. It definitely SHOULD be done with db information instead of hard/hand coding the pages.
