Welcome to Wikigalaxy, here we are using the latest 3D browser technology to bring you Wikipedia in 3D. Each dot represents a wikipedia article, and every article is linked together into a network.

There are two viewing mode available at all times: a top-down map and a first person mode.

Map Mode:

Available by clicking the "map" icon, map mode lets you browse the galaxy from above. You can move around with the UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT keys, as well as ASDW. Scrolling will zoom in and out.

First Person mode:

Similar to FPS video games, first person mode gives you the perspective of a character mocing in 3D space. Here moving left and right will rotate the camera, while up and down will move your forward and backwards. Scrolling will push the camera over to where the cursor is pointing, while clicking on the + and - button will change your altitude.

Selecting and deselecting articles:

Whatever mode you find yourself in, every visible star can be selected by clicking on it. Pressing the SPACE bar will add in more and more links. When a star is selected, movement is restricted around the orbit of that star. In this mode only links are clickable, clicking on a link will take you to another star. Clicking in empty space will deselect the current article.

Viewing your history live on the map

Checking the box "view history" on the history tab will show you where you've been on the map. Leaving it checked will automatically add in the last viewed article in the chain.
