Fun with GoogleMap
January 19th, 2006
I’ve found this nace racing application just recently: it’s a small javascript that simulate a racing game on top of GoogleMap. As it’s in Japaneese, I’ve just grab the script to and make it run on top of SF, one of my favorite spot! 
. Of course, there is no collision detection with “walls”, but this could be probably implemented using a specific client…If i have time, I would like once do it using my J2meMap framework (or if anybody interested by this?)….
But it’s an interesting example of one of the numerous game that game be done using google map API. I did not see a lot yet, there is this one, a Golf game (nice idea, but bad interface)….

That’s great! Perhaps you can make it a feature of your J2meMap application to show your car, and your buddies car, in a GPRS-based multiplayer game. Combined with a real car and a bluetooth GPS receiver, and you have a (dangerous?) multiplayer game!

That’s an idea!
Anyway, there is probably something to do by mixing real world data and position and a game….

I want to do an app to see where other budies of mine are.
In fact, that is part of my graduation project.
What can I do to use the earthCanvas you developed?
