From Solipsis

I'm just goofing around with Solipis.

Bubble service got a premature 0.1 release. I just could not resist being the first to release a third-party service plugin. How vain.

Meanwhile I'm working on yet another hack which is so far called "map service". It will replace the blue ring Navigator background image with a subsection of a specified image (ie, a world map) which moves and scales with the viewport geometry. This will make specific areas of Solipsis-space recognizable, rather than representing it as an endless blue void.

The original idea was to use google map data or some equivalent source for background images. After a weekend of fruitless thrashing, I did not even get a static image properly displayed.  :-(

However, I did factor the common service plumbing out of map and bubble, and the resulting base class makes trivial services trivial to implement. So that is nice.
