4 use cases

  • Make a pixel-art fly-through of a real road trip

    Turn a commute, road trip or move between cities into a scrollable pixel-art drive.

    View prompt
    Using the pixel-path skill in the jonwheatley/pixel-path repo, build a pixel path from <start place> to <end place> at the placeholders level, so no RetroDiffusion cost is incurred. Expected output: a folder containing index.html that plays the route when served statically. Verify that the folder contains index.html and that the credits line is visible on the page.

  • Build a driving or racing level from a real road

    Use a real road from the map as the level for a driving, racing or endless-runner game.

    View prompt
    In the jonwheatley/pixel-path repo, read the commented pseudo-3D renderer and bake a route from <start place> to <end place> with the pixel-path skill. Expected output: a route folder and a short written summary of how the renderer draws the road. Verify that the route folder has index.html and that the summary names the renderer's main functions.

  • Learn an OpenStreetMap bake pipeline and pseudo-3D renderer

    Read a commented renderer and map bake pipeline to learn how a real road becomes pixel art.

    View prompt
    In the jonwheatley/pixel-path repo, bake a short placeholders route with the pixel-path skill and explain how the bake pipeline and the pseudo-3D renderer connect. Expected output: a written explanation with file references. Verify that each file named in the explanation exists in the repo.

  • Generate real pixel-art scenery for a route

    Spend a set budget on RetroDiffusion art for a route, with the quote shown before any money is spent.

    View prompt
    Using the pixel-path skill in the jonwheatley/pixel-path repo, bake a route from <start place> to <end place> at the sparse level after the estimate is shown. Expected output: a route folder with generated pictures and a contact sheet. Verify that the exact quote matches the estimate and that no API key appears in the output or the chat.

How to use Pixel Path

  1. Check you have what it needs: Claude Code; Node 18 or newer; Network access while baking (Nominatim, OSRM, Overpass, AWS Terrain Tiles, Wikidata).
  2. Open jonwheatley/pixel-path on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run /plugin marketplace add jonwheatley/pixel-path in Claude Code.
  4. Run /plugin install pixel-path@pixel-path in Claude Code.
  5. Ask Claude: "make me a pixel path from Paris to Versailles", replacing the places with your own.
  6. When the route estimate is printed, choose placeholders for a free run, or a paid level for real art.

These steps come from our top use case, Make a pixel-art fly-through of a real road trip, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
