2D Game Map in Canvas

This project is discontinued. The latest version went down with the two hard disks that failed :( For the last couple of weeks I've been playing around with HTML5 or more specifically, the canvas element. Coupled with jQuery and some basic Javascript I've created a 2 dimensional game map for a strategy board game (like Travian). Should work in most 2D browser game worlds as long as the coordinates are two dimensional.

Features

• Map controls Overlay: North, South, East, West. Zoom In, Zoom Out.
• Mouse controls: Zoom with scroll wheel. Drag map to move.
• JSON backend: Dynamically fetches the tiles requested through AJAX.
• Works with Travian: Currently the prototype is running on a dataset from a Danish Travian server.
• Village information: A mouse-over effect showing details about the current village.
• Village details: Possible to click a village for even more information through JSON.
• Dynamic size: Will function in a small element or full screen.
• Ease of deployment: Implemented as a jQuery plugin.
