Display a world map in the terminal using MapSCII

To open the map, just run the following command from the terminal:

1. <span style='font-family: 微软雅黑, "Microsoft YaHei";'>telnet mapscii.me</span>

This is my terminal world map.

Cool, huh?

To switch to Braille view, press <span style='font-family: 微软雅黑, "Microsoft YaHei";'>c</span>.

Enter <span style='font-family: 微软雅黑, "Microsoft YaHei";'>c</span> again to switch back to the previous format.

To scroll the map, use the Up, Down, Left, and Right arrow keys. To zoom in/out the location, use the <span style='font-family: 微软雅黑, "Microsoft YaHei";'>a</span> and <span style='font-family: 微软雅黑, "Microsoft YaHei";'>z</span> keys. Additionally, you can use your mouse's scroll wheel to zoom in or out. To exit the map, press <span style='font-family: 微软雅黑, "Microsoft YaHei";'>q</span>.

Like I already said, don't think this is a simple project. Click anywhere on the map and press <span style='font-family: 微软雅黑, "Microsoft YaHei";'>a</span> to zoom in.

After zooming in, here are some sample screenshots.
