Gambl0r posted:Also as an alternative to positioning semi-transparent gifs with z-index in CSS: You could keep one master image of the entire city and split it up into 256x256px tiles and use those as a custom tile set in Google Maps. Then you could even put markers on the map with the artist's and building's name or something! I was trying to think of how to implement something like this a little while ago, but actually keeping the GIFs intact, so as to cut back on the constant manual maintenance that would be needed. The Google Maps API couldn't be used, as it requires tiled images, but then again, the only "Google Maps functionality" we'd really need would be the ability to scroll around, and maybe click on tiles to get some metadata about them, like the author, a comment and a link or something. Perhaps we could whip up our own Google Maps-ish framework? I imagine a site where the entire browser window is simply a scrollable area, with little to no interface to get in the way. Even if Shakra starts out with a manually-assembled image, it'd be pretty cool to develop something like this on the side and eventually launch it.

He could be hiding in one of the shadows behind a column, or poking his eyes up above a window sill. Maybe with binoculars or a camera with a long lens. Also, I'm working on a tile of my own! It involves wood and water.
