Hi, TL;DR: please vote for eXoCraft at https://2016.spaceappschallenge.org/vote (We only need a few hundred votes to get to the final five: one vote per person per day until the end of the week; the team with most votes gets an invitation to NASA.) ------------------------- Background: It all started with a wonderful BachoTeX conference and users frustrated by inaccurate maps and unable to find their huts after the bonfire was over at 3 am. http://www.gust.org.pl/bachotex/ So some people took the GPS, mapped the area and entered the data into OpenStreetMaps. Some years back I challenged Hans to let ConTeXt draw a nice map using lua & xml & metapost combined. Here's the result: http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2014/programme.shtml http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2014/talks/2014-09-12-mojca-maps/OpenStreet... Meanwhile we also came up with http://www.gust.org.pl/bachotex/bachotex-promo/bachotex-site-color.png This year we took the existing map-generating sources to the next level. Since Hans' nephew is a great lover of MineCraft, we helped him build the foundations for creating a geographically accurate BachoTeX map in Minecraft while enjoying the wonderful conference. Using ConTeXt of course! (Preview is available here: https://github.com/mojca/bachotex-maps/tree/master/minecraft/google-maps/bac..., but you need to clone the project first to view in offline and please note that the map project is not finished yet.) Now, this last step has only been possible due to some wonderful team-mates and an event that happened one week before BachoTeX. This was the team effort: https://2016.spaceappschallenge.org/challenges/solar-system/open-world-gener... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmM1DqG4dTE The project actually got us to the top-25 in the world and the winner (based solely on the number of votes) gets a trip to NASA. I'm not claiming that what we could learn and do in one day and a half is super special, but we would be grateful for any votes ... Thank you, Mojca
