This map was built using the incredible Leaflet javascript library by Volodymyr Agafonkin, and a custom dithering and map slicing app, as well as a “Frenz Maker”, a character generator. Both apps were made with Processing.
Frenz Maker, custom frenz pixel artworks, and map implementation by Damien Sujkowski.
