A pastebin-like tool for annotating maps (from games etc.) Create a new map, use the edit URL to edit it, give others the view-only url so they can follow your progress.

Used for the wurm online game to mark areas while searching for boss monsters.

The backend is a django & django-rest-framework app, the frontend is react + redux.

A live version of this code is at https://trewq.pl/wurm/maps

To run the backend tests, go to the api directory and do: python manage.py test

To run the development server, use python manage.py runserver in the api directory for the backend, and npm run dev in the frontend directory for the frontend.

Attached is an example tmuxinator config that runs both, in tmuxinator.yaml.

The API is a standard django app that you can run using your favorite wsgi server, eg. uwsgi -w maps_api.wsgi. Example settings file is in maps_api/settings.py

For the frontend, simply cd to the frontend directory, and run webpack, which will build the app and place it in the dist/ subdirectory.

For the actual map tiles, there's an example of how to split a big map .png into tiles in static/tiles/maketiles.sh. You'll need gdal2tiles.py (eg. on ubuntu, install the gdal-bin and python-gdal packages).

The main idea of this is, there's no login and user management, and all access control is only based on the URLs - when you create a map, you are redirected to the "edit" url that allows editing, and you can copy the "view-only" url that doesn't.

• add more kinds of features, not just the reveal square
• add some kind of free-form drawing (overlay canvas+png?)
• make a cleaner division between components & containers in the redux frontend
