Map Builder for easy Google and Yahoo Maps
It's been great that Google and Yahoo have opened
up their map API's to let just about anyone build maps using that pre-built tech goodness. Unfortunately, if you're not
a developer, or if you're just in a hurry, maybe you don't need access to the API. Maybe you just want to put together

Pretty good description on the site: "MapBuilder.net is an Web2.0 service that is used to build custom Google and
Yahoo maps without any knowledge of the Google/Yahoo Maps API and JavaScript. MapBuilder provides a decent visual
interface for the map building process with geocoding features. Also MapBuilder lets users tag locations on their maps,
and then publish the map either on MapBuilder.net or their own website." Sounds good to me. What's great is that
you can grab the source code all you want. Yahoo's support for Flash maps is on the way as well. Remember, to use the
source for Google you'll need one of those spiffy Google Maps API
keys. Enjoy!

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
