Mapsnapper is a video game map downloader. After a few suggestions from the well recieved ScrapingManAss, i decided to give it a try to get as many VG-maps as well.
Mapsnapper shamelessly downloads all maps from The Video Game Atlas. The maps are then sorted in folders respective of their console and game (example further down)
path: The path where you want the maps to be downloaded to--help -h: Shows the help menu--source -s: Match which consoles you would like to download from--yes -y: Start without a confirmation
The option -s accepts an arbitrary amount of inputs. This is an inclusive search, so you will retrieve all consoles that has whatever variable you decide to put in
python ./main.py /home/user/maps -s windowspython ./main.py . -s nes ios
/{CONSOLE}/{GAME}/{MAIN_SECTION} - {SUB_SECTION}.{POSTFIX}
- Beautifulsoup4
- Requests
- html5lib
As this project has satisfied my needs, i dont see an immediate need to further improve on it. However, there are a few things that could be better
- An improved console filter
- Filter by game
