Whenever I get across this page I first get very impressed and happy, and then I realise there's no code so I can't use this method myself to make my own maps :(

Nico Belmonte ported this to WebGL in 2018 for its 10th birthday.

Sure, but did he release the code as a repository?

I've seen that site before but I think all you get is minified js, which isn't terribly helpful if you want to make your own maps to unfold.

Oh, I didn’t notice that the directory[1] only has compiled source. Wouldn’t hurt to file an issue, maybe no one ever asked him for it.
