I just released a new game: Hippopotamus. Lesser work because it is based on the Globetrotter engine...

Play it on games.dschini.org!

Website owners may download the game:

  • Windows-execuatble [Flash-Projector]
  • Flash swf
  • or both as zip.

    • Actually.. after debugging and programming this game I don't know .. you decide if you like it..

    Have fun!

Right? That's what I learnt from them. However.. anything needs a name and 3 hours of work deserve it.

    Here is the guide.

This demo shows how Fullscreen mode works and also Drag'n Drop of the map. Additionally if you hold the Space key while clicking on the map the nearest city will show up.

    Please notice that the API changed but the docs did not yet. Have fun!

Now I have created a website where you'll find more information about the component + examples and documentation..

    Here the link

    Right now I am working on some Beginners Tutorials to help you get started! ... You'll find them under Docs! ...

To be exact ... every city with minimum 50.000 people but every country at least 10 ... ordered by population.

The following demo you are about to see nicely displays the functionality of the component.

    If you are interested in that component, let me know. I'll probably set up a forum .. More to come soon...

    I finished work on the world map. The file is available as a Flash CS4 .fla file (440 kb). No nested clips - just a single MovieClip. You may select and create clips of the countries or states yourself.

    You may also use Flash Shape Optimizer to reduce the amount of lines or vectors to improve performance within your application.

    For the first time I do not give away a download for free. However I think 59.00 euro is quite affordable.

    More information about this map is available here!
