ZIP 0xC0DE

Interesting Java project from Ben Fry at MIT which lights and then unlights dots on a map of the US as you enter in each successive digit so that you can see how much of the country each substring of your code represents. There's some logic behind how the codes are assigned. He also has a project called mariosoup which is just a ripping out of the sprite map of a Mario rom. Interesting to look at if you've never seen one before (i.e. you're not a nerd like me).

I like the zip code thing. I gotta think that was a very boring programming job. Posted by: villageidiot at December 25, 2003 1:38 AM |

Haha, if he had to enter in every pinpoint of light manually. I bet there was already a database available (that's somehow derived with some kind of rhyme and/or reason). Posted by: agent1073 at December 25, 2003 7:23 PM |
