The release of «The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug» on December 12, 2013 is fast approaching and those who still need to prepare for the trip to Middle-earth now have the opportunity to get to know the locations of Middle-earth with an interactive map. Who follows this link, can immerse themselves in the world of Tolkien's saga and now interactively go to Trollwood, Rivendell and Dol Guldur. The map also provides biographies about each character, some behind-the-scene info, and a significant number of mini-games. Some locations such as Thranduil's Hall (Thranduil's Hall), Lake Town (Lake Town) and Erebor (Lonley Mountain) are still locked on the map. These will be made available over time, but if anyone is afraid of spoilers it is recommended to avoid these locations as The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will lead to these very locations. So this is the perfect preparation to know exactly where the protagonists are in Middle-earth before the cinema release.
Thus, the card offers a little treat for ardent followers of Tolkien's stories, as well as for those who are brand new to the Middle-earth universe. The map was developed specifically for Google's Chrome browser and is still in a work-in-progress state, so before traveling to Middle-earth, make sure you have the latest version of Chrome installed to fully immerse yourself in the world can immerse. Google describes the whole thing as a Chrome experiment, but according to its own tests, "A Journey through Middle-earth" runs both on the desktop and on mobile devices in all browsers, whereby the mini-games at the end of the sections are displayed incorrectly in the latest Internet Explorer from Microsoft. The whole thing should also run on Android devices with a powerful graphics unit, because Chrome supports WebGL there.
Auf dem Company blog and the Developer blog explains a few more details to Google about the technology behind Smaug's wasteland. Most of the applications are programmed in HTML, CSS and Javascript. In addition, the Touch Events API and the Web Audio API are used for touchscreen inputs. Very interesting!
More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
