The Transit Communicator

I will create the Transit Communicator from the Testing, a device that acts as a map and allows you to see where you are in the world. Cia (The main character) uses this during the 4th test of the Testing when she must find her way back to Testing Headquarters. This project is interactive as you can move around the map in the communicator as Cia does in the novel.

Iterations: Chat GPT Help

I received lots of code to help make my tilemap from Chat GPT that I would normally add but is very long, complicated, and wouldn't fit on the page.

It has taken a lot of time and ChatGPT has helped me with many iterations, none of which are what I want. I am still working on having it help me with making a map and not just a bunch of symbols.

This is as far as I have gotten. However, ChatGPT has been starting to understand that I want a map and while this doesn't have any physical features, it is close to physically working as expected.

The Makey-Makey I will be using.

The Lazer Cut I will use to disguise the Makey-Makey as the Transit Communicator.
