Nicely made! I thought I'm good with flags, and then there come a question of jordan, palestine and two more similar flags. I made a similar but uglier little party game https://geo-dude.com https://geo-dude.com for my kids. Supports up to 4 players

  If you read this message, can you provide more context please? Are you choosing the "Name the country" mode with question from "Same continent". It might be that south america has only 13 countries in my database, so it appears to be repeated. I just turned the repo public for your reference. Country list at https://github.com/kmcheung12/geo-dude/blob/main/server/country-continents.json https://github.com/kmcheung12/geo-dude/blob/main/server/coun... Picking a question from a continent is shuffle and then pick question per round, so "pick without replacement" https://github.com/kmcheung12/geo-dude/blob/main/server/index.js#L233 https://github.com/kmcheung12/geo-dude/blob/main/server/inde...

This looks really good, but sometimes it seemed like there was no country to click on for the tiny islands? For St Lucia, for instance, the closest visible country was (I think) Puerto Rico. I clicked on it, and then it showed me where St Lucia was in the middle of the black ocean. As far as I could tell, even zooming in, there was morning to click on there. Same thing happened with Micronesia. There are very few islands in the Pacific visible.

  Hey thanks for checking it out! Really glad the site has more audience than me and my son only and appreciate the feedback! Mind if I ask which mode were you playing? Was it "Find a country" or "Guess a country"? It might be due to the countries being too small. I maintain a separate small countries list [1] from the bigger ones [2] [1] https://github.com/kmcheung12/geo-dude/blob/main/public/data/micro-countries.json https://github.com/kmcheung12/geo-dude/blob/main/public/data... [2] https://github.com/kmcheung12/geo-dude/blob/main/public/data/countries-110m.json https://github.com/kmcheung12/geo-dude/blob/main/public/data... I didn't come up with a good way to show small countries so it is the way it is. Would love to hear suggestion though!

    Find a country. I tried it again and the very first country was St Lucia again. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/fuhO0lh https://imgur.com/a/fuhO0lh
