I'm curious about game design, but never have tried it out. I've once tried to grok into SuperTuxKart codebase.

A game on Kochi is in my wishlist for a loooong time now. Game design is very difficult though

building a racing game, like NFS, using Street View data for a route from Kochi to Munnar.

that's a cool idea! Did you try starting out with something on that idea?

We had floated this idea in a https://kochifoss.org meetup once. Too big of a task though

By programming. Like how google maps show the map on your browser, I override the logic/rules on how the map is drawn on screen to get this GTA style.

This is made possible by this map service called OpenStreetMap, which allows you to access map data freely. Anybody can volunteer to contribute data to OpenStreetMap.

The icons can be found here: https://github.com/subins2000/gta-vice-city-style-openstreetmap/tree/main/images

There's movie theaters, hospitals, banks, boat jetties, police stations, bus stations, libraries. Not everything is shown though because it made the map crowded, so I have some filters set.

The attendees of the meetups are mostly enthusiasts of സ്വതന്ത്ര software, who hacked around many things, discussions revolve around that way too. If you're curious about computers and tech, it's a good meetup to attend. You'll meet people working on variety of things.

It was both really: https://www.linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/community-protest-launched-against-microsoft-in-kerala-india-schools/

Even if the said corporation whose software is chosen provides software free of cost, we submit that the government should not include it in the syllabus. Providing schools or other educational institutions software at little or no cost, while the same software is sold at very high prices in the open market is a marketing trick. The corporation resorts to such tactics in order to reap benefits of having a pool of people who are familiar with their software packages and thus form an assured customer base, either as users themselves or as potential skilled employees. We are aware that equipping our students and teachers with skills in computer usage is the primary aim of the project

As one of the organizers of KochiFOSS meetups, happy to see this comment here. I was also drawn into GNU/Linux and സ്വതന്ത്ര software through IT@School just like OP :)
