How it works?

You first create a grid of connected locations and pathways. These are meant to represent any topics that are closely related. Each location can be then be linked to a forum, where you can receive responses from your community. You can then share this world using a simple URL.

Launch your world

Customize your world

  • You can customize your world by editing the appropriate fields in your spotmaze.json file.
  • To add images into your world, you can drag and drop your Image folder into the repository,
  • Then add "Images/my-img.png" into the locations the image field.

Customize your world (using an Excel Spreadsheet)

  • You also customize your world using Excel spreadsheet.
  • After editing, upload your custom Excel file to this Excell converter to convert your XLSX to JSON.
  • This website (https://beautifytools.com/excel-to-json-converter.php) will build you a valid JSON that you can use as your source file.
  • Copy & paste this output into your existing JSON source file to compleate the process.
  • Or else replace the current file with the newly created one from the website.
