You know, one picture is better than thousand of words:

Sorry, full version history is covered on the czech language pages only.
Latest version is v1.0 (February 3, 2009).

JRE (Java Runtime Environment) version 1.6.0 (Linux, Windows 2000 or later). Download here: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp.

DKMapa-1.0.zip [81kB]

Unzip somewhere.
In text editor (vi, Notepad, ...) edit the 'worlds.dat' file, format of every single line is:

world name,world.address,speed,unit_speed
Run 'DKMapa-linux.sh' (Linux) or 'DKMapa(.exe)' (Windows) or 'DKMapa-windows(.cmd)' (Windows with debug window).

Instruction manual is currently in czech language only, so feel free and try. Program is (I hope) very intuitive.

This project is now discontinued, but sources are released under GNU GPL v3 license.
What should be done, what was planed but never finished:

A lot of exceptions should be handled better than simple and stupid printStackTrace() (consider some error dialog).
Talking about correct exceptions handling, the most important are exceptions in SwingWorker threads. Even printStackTrace() is not displayed in console it these cases and debug is complicated then.
ColorListCellRenderer, ListItem and ListModel was planed as nested classes in MainWindow.
Relation and interfacing between MainWindow and Visualizer classes should be less chaotic.
GUI manipulation with the 'worlds.dat' file (add/remove world) should be added.
Load and save of the independent list(s) should be nice.
Save all map as an image is frequently requested function.
Some GUI fitting needed.

This program is now under GNU GPL v3 license.
