Having fun with another not-so-standard project: Pet Dragons 2, a Facebook game. And guess what, it’s the map that i’m working on. It integrates the maptech engine with some AJAX methodology.
Right now it is in beta testing (will report when live!).
See Pet Dragons 1, the running game.
Read Pet Dragons 2 group on what’s coming.
Just did a quick wrapper around the GeoRSS reader classes, got GeoFeeder; then simply couldn’t stop to improve it.
Try any GeoRSS feed you know of, but be aware: every feed sucessfully parsed will be “recorded” for all other users to see.
See the GeoFeeder page for details.

To test the recent changes to my maptech library and to feature the omnipresent Geo-RSS feeds, i put together a simple yet powerful (at least i hope so) GeoRSS viewer.
Features
renders Atom 1.0, RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0
supports W3C, Simple and GML feeds
implements RSS 2.0’s TTL
BTW, please add all georss-feed-urls you have and give feedbackon on [...]
Update: now includes Mars and Moon.
After some thinking on how to integrate the code for linearly-projected maps (zoomify …) and mercator-projected maps (almost all others) into a single AS3 model, i found a very good, easy and straight-forward architecture.
The trick was to separate the coordinate conversion into two steps:
linearisation and
linear interpolation on the pixel data.
Linearly [...]
Doing another viewer for a 200+ maps project, i discovered that combining overview and detail maps in the same view, rendered the system unusable with only a few layers.
Naturally i did some optimizations on the layer drawing code. This resulted in a dramatical performance improvement when combining large overview maps with detail maps in the [...]
