Congratulations! What did you build?

Very happy your hard work is being rewarded.

Thanks! I made a submarine game called DeepBlue where you explore the ocean floor generated by ocean depth map data:

ocean depth map data

Where can I download it and under what conditions can I use it?

Looks like NOAA has a bunch of such data available but I really don't understand it enough to tell if there's an easy download link in my cursory glance.

On the subject of NOAA, did you know you can get your weather forecasts ad-free and straight from the source? Weather.gov is one of the my most frequent bookmarks because it bypasses all of the crap of commercial weather sites

Thanks!

I don't live in the US, but also I use my own government's weather data.

Have you published it on the App Store yet?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not just yet but it’s in the works!

Also - post it on GitHub. Preferably now while you've got people paying attention. :-)

When I'm going through job candidates, nothing gets my attention better than a public GitHub project where a lot of other people have stared/forked/written issues/submitted pull requests/etc. Which means you shouldn't just post it, you should spend a bit of time maintaining it. Fix bugs, add features, add content (search for treasure?)
