Lab 6: EEEKKK! CODING!

Here is my first attempt at coding.  I made a map by typing words and numbers, instead of drawing!

I'm not gonna lie.  While this is incredibly interesting, and kind of fun to a point, I really like being about to see the map as it's being created.  Maybe this just takes practice, but I really do like the way it looks.  Very sleek.

Weekly Blog Post #6: Splash Screen

This is an example of an animated map with a splash screen.  The splash screen is at the beginning of the animation to give some background or information on what is about to be viewed.  This map comes from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and is about the liberation of Nazi concentration camps.
