I made a game where you try to guess a daily mystery bird.
http://jerm.cool/bird/ http://jerm.cool/bird/
It pulls a list of birds reported on eBird in your county in the last 2 weeks and you ask preselected questions like the the color or size to whittle down the possibilities. I also made a matching game that uses the same list and you have to match the name to a picture of the bird. I set it up for California for now. I wanted to get more comfortable with SQL and APIs.
Feedback welcome.
- egglemonsoup 7mo agoI like the idea and I would play it, but the system of coming up with questions and then having to answer them in order to narrow down the options is unintuitive. Can I see a picture of the bird? Can I hear its call? Can I guess species and see categories get narrowed down? Those aren't necessarily what you need to add, but they're what I'm used to for daily games, and what I expected when I clicked the link.
- jayteedee 7mo agoI like those! A picture of the bird would be the matching game. I want to add a bird song game too. The idea was to make it like the 20 questions game. Maybe I should lean into this more. I did make something where you guess the species and it narrows down through it's taxonomy. http://jerm.cool/cafauna/ http://jerm.cool/cafauna/ It's a bad ripoff of the much, much more fun metazooa (https://metazooa.com/play/game https://metazooa.com/play/game). I kike it but it gets real annoying when your down to 1 of 10 bats or something. I've been using it to read and edit Wikipedia articles for undeveloped pages.
