Discworld: The Ankh-Morpork Map

摘要

Ankh-Morpork is a city much like London a populous and smoky city. And, so the reasoning goes, if there are guidebook apps for real cities (London included), why shouldn't one also exist for a fictitious locale? This interactive companion to Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels takes the form of a vast, zoomable map, resembling a 17th-century illustration, with little animated citizens wandering about the streets. Tapping on a building brings up an all-too-brief directory-style listing in a nicely old-fashioned typeface; usually this details little more than the name and address of some shop or other, although occasionally a lengthier passage with some actual jokes in it will appear.
