Game Maps App

Welcome to Game Maps, an interactive tool for gamers to explore detailed maps powered by Map Genie, with ads removed and pro features like unlimited save locations unlocked. I’m LongHT, a developer currently seeking new job opportunities, and I built this app for Windows as a passion project to showcase my skills—contributions welcome to expand it to other platforms!

Tech Stack and Why

  • Tauri Framework: A cross-platform framework written in Rust, enabling lightweight and secure desktop applications.
  • SolidJS: Chosen for its reactive programming model, which I enjoy (inspired by ReactiveX).
  • C/C++: I’m more familiar with it than Rust, and it has fewer restrictions, such as Rust’s borrow checker rules.
  • Catch2: A testing library for C/C++, used for writing unit tests.
  • cURL: My favorite HTTP client library for its reliability and versatility.
  • LevelDB: A simple, high-performance key-value database.
  • yaLanTingLibs: A collection of C++20 libraries; I specifically used struct_json for JSON handling.

Features

  • Interactive Maps: Integrates with Map Genie for fan-made, detailed game maps.
  • Ad-Free Experience: No distractions—just pure map exploration.
  • Pro Features Unlocked: Unlimited save locations to track all your in-game discoveries.
  • Sync Progress: Seamlessly sync saved locations with Map Genie’s website.
  • User-Friendly Design: Intuitive interface designed with gamers in mind.
