Modern wormhole mapping platform for the EVE Online community with real-time collaboration and intelligent pathfinding.
About this project
EVE Online's wormhole space is a constantly shifting landscape where connections between systems appear and collapse unpredictably. For corporations living in this space, keeping an accurate map of these connections is critical for navigation, logistics, and survival. I built Wormhole Systems to solve the challenge of collaborative mapping. When multiple players are scanning and exploring simultaneously, everyone needs to see updates instantly. Traditional polling would have meant constant server requests from every connected client, wasting bandwidth and creating delays. WebSockets were the clear choice—they let the server push updates the moment a change happens, keeping all mappers in sync without the overhead. The platform features real-time collaborative mapping with drag-and-drop controls, intelligent pathfinding through complex wormhole chains with mass calculations, and unified access management for teams. Players can track signatures, monitor activity and killmails in real-time, and benefit from auto-generated system intelligence notes.
