This project is a reaction to Google's shutdown of Google Shoot View
To "install" Google Street view Gun, drag this link onto your Firefox bookmarks menu: GSVG
Then, open a google maps street view window, and click the bookmark!
Controls:
Click to shoot
arrow up/down to move
WASD or left/right and page up/page down to look
Compatibility
This script has been tested on Mozilla Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows, Linux, and Mac.
Older browser versions (including FF 3.6) will likely be slow and "lag"
Windows: You probably already have it (Quicktime I think)
Linux users: mplayer, gstreamer, or any similar browser plugin media should do
Mac users: You're on your own. Quicktime maybe?
Known bugs:
You can shoot outside the maps window -- like the Google logo (arguably, this could be a 'feature', not a bug... :)
The graphics are ATROCIOUS and the animation is cheesy. (Any artists wanna help out? See below)
Gun image, muzzle flash are off if you aim far right (like government, GSVG fails at the extreme right!)
Want to help out?
Right now I'm looking for artwork. Need to replace most of the existing pictures/animations with something better.
Also looking to expand this to multiple guns -- will need new artwork and sounds for any of those. All work must be freely licensed (creative commons,
public domain, etc.) Contact me if you have any suggestions or would like to help out: bsf5033 ([at]) psu.edu
Also, feel free to contact me with any bugs or issues!
