@bsletten Hey @jeremy it seems that the #mapscii project keeps on making headlines!

I remember that we discovered it through your article geotribu.fr/articles/2021/2021

This telnet mapscii.me thing is pretty great! I usually get my butt kicked though #retro #retrocomputing #bbs #mapscii #games #doorgames

Fancy an old school map? #mapscii

It reminds me a lot of the old PC and BBS games. 😆

Play with it on telnet :
$ telnet mapscii.me

More info from: github.com/rastapasta/mapscii

And, of course, it uses #OpenStreetMap

And on a related note, talking of unexpected map viewers, I should also mention #MapSCII, which is a #Braille and ASCII world map renderer for your console, accessible via #telnet. Simply invoke “telnet mapscii.me”. Powered by #OpenStreetMap data.

Probabilmente il frontend più cool e nerd di #OpenStreetMap, mapscii è una divertente versione in "ASCII art" di Openstreetmap

asciinema.org/a/117813

È possibile visualizzare la mappa nella finestra del terminale o telnet al server #Mapscii (si può usare #putty su windows)

$ telnet mapscii.me

(Utilizzare il mouse o i tasti freccia per spostarsi, e a/z per ingrandire/ridurre lo zoom)

telnet mapscii.me

Required xterm-compatible terminal. But pretty cool. #mapscii #ascii #terminal #telnet

#mapscii is now installed on the SDF MetaArray #map #ascii #graphics

However if you really want to impress with an ascii terminal, I can also recommend #mapscii (don't be afraid to use the mouse):

telnet mapscii.me

telnet mapscii.me - I like the dark South pool part, and the credits when quitting the telnet session. #mapscii

Today I was granted write permissions to the #mapscii repository as a maintainer.

Have a look, if you are still looking for PRs for #Hacktoberfest. 😏
