Game Star Mapper
This Java Applet uses anti-aliased 2D graphics to integrate in it's entirety into a user's web browser. The software reads the map from the HTML parameters, allowing for the game to dynamically alter the map as the world changes and the game progresses.
The interface itself features a pseudo-3d feel with parallax background scrolling and a zoom features. It also hosts a mouse-over interface that allows the gamer to retrieve specific information about a point on the map in real-time.
Future planned improvements include a route information gathering function that allow a gamer to see the time it will take for their pilot to get from their current sector to another. There are also plans for variable backgrounds wrapped into the applet to allow for 'different views of the universe'.
