Is there any community like discord to make maps together/share ideas or just something like that?

[interactive-game-maps]

No, there is none for this project. At least for now. TBH, there isn't enough volume in user interaction to warrant this yet.

That's why I've opened this discussion board. Feel free to ask any questions/ideas/etc. here.
It even has the additional advantage that those will get indexed by search engines.

I know that the creating side is a bit rough and requires light programming skills, but it can be pretty straightforward. Maybe I should create a pictured guide…
Anyway, please do share $things you may have here in the github discussions board.

I mean I made it working for one map but was wondering if making landing page for whole with couple of maps could be possible

[interactive-game-maps]

It is. Here's one (rather bad) example: https://github.com/interactive-game-maps/interactive-game-maps.github.io
Of course, it's possible to add your map if you don't want to create your own.

Each map already links back to a landing page, although I see that this is currently hardcoded:

template/common/interactive_map.js

Line 439 in 79741b6

button: 'https://interactive-game-maps.github.io/'

(The 'back' button on the lower left)

I was thinking of something like this for whole game with multiple maps. Instead of creating 8 different repos make 1 with 8 maps inside with invidual map Tiles and markers

I'm afraid I only designed for one map on a single web page. Leaflet is using global variables heavily, so I'm not sure if that's generally easily doable.

It might be possible,

• even in the current state, to wrap each map in an iframe onto the wrapping web page and switch the displayed map by switching the iframes around.
• with a more involved change you could also try to add/remove TileLayers and the corresponding markers dynamically.

As I mentioned before I didn't design for this so it's very possible things will break when doing these things. The first that comes to my mind is the direct link to a marker.

Also keep in mind that everything around the map takes up precious space on phones.

I made WIP of landing page that kinda works but need more polishing. I made fork and you can check it out and figure if it's good

[interactive-game-maps]

I took a look but unfortunately couldn't figure out the entry point.

How about creating a sidebar panel specifically for this purpose?
