WHAT IT DOES
What does it do?
When given a GitHub repository, it represents files as buildings, directories as neighborhoods, and open issues as monsters roaming the city. Users can aim at a bug and request analysis, then inspect the real issue, a before-and-after diff of the proposed fix, and an explanation in a review panel. Approaching a building also lets users read actual source code streamed from GitHub.

EDITOR'S NOTE
Why did it stand out?
Mapping files, directories, and issues to buildings, neighborhoods, and monsters connects code exploration with spatial memory. Its fixed placement based on file paths and ability to explore before analysis finishes make for a playful workflow.
