isometric.nyc/snow

Hey HN, As NYC wakes up to the largest blizzard in years, I’d like to share [isometric.nyc/snow](http://isometric.nyc/snow) - a wintry mix of the original isometric pixel map of NYC . This work builds on the original isometric.nyc ideas but aims to increasingly automate the process of generating the tiled images. I’ve written up a follow-up addendum at [cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc\#snow](http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc#snow) that describes some of this work, but the tl;dr is: * ensuring that training data and…

In plain words

isometric.nyc/snow presents an isometric pixel art map of New York City rendered in snowy conditions. Building on the original isometric.nyc project, it uses automated image generation techniques to create the tiled visualizations. The creator employed machine learning approaches including color normalization, pattern augmentation for water features, and distributed inference to improve consistency and speed in generating the winter-themed map.

    isometric.nyc – giant isometric pixel art map of NYCJan 2026 · cannoneyed.com · ▲1,325

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc

    Maps and Splats – Mashup of 3D tile maps with Gaussian Splats2024 · maps-and-splats.glitch.me · ▲87

    Hello HN! I’m excited to share this open-source community mashup showing the power and possibility of combining 3D Gaussian splat scans with traditional mesh-based 3D tiles maps in the browser. As you've probably seen on HN a bunch lately, Gaussian splats are a new method to allow custom 3D scans of scenes and objects [1] and Google Maps 3D Tiles API are the same 3D buildings and street views your familiar with in Google Earth or Google Maps, and recently they’ve been made available for inclusion in web apps. Combining splats + 3d map mixes highly detailed real-world custom micro-scans with…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
