Hi All,<p>A bit of banter late night in the Cambridge Uni (UK) engineering department turned into a weekend of hacking, and finally this game. It's been a lot more popular then we expected and we think we should keep iterating it! It would be great to get everyone's suggestions!
- senthilnayagam 14y agoscored 196 :) , sometimes it is difficult to guess when you just have foliage and just roads with no markings
- edwardsmason 14y agoNot bad! I've seen people hit 2k though. I need to think of a low cost way (in terms of for the users effort) of a score table across all of the apps (iphone, web and android)
- alehrman 14y agogreat idea! but, I think you could be well traveled and not know a single one.
- edwardsmason 14y agoyeah, its true. There are some gives people keep pointing out. Climates, Building styles, road quality... etc. First time round i didnt have names on the flags - that was insanely hard :)
- alehrman 14y agocan you start with some dumb-downed obvious places, and slowly work up to harder and harder to recognize? Even something as simple as Statue of Liberty or Mt. Rushmore would be a good introductory... IMO
- rex_gsd 14y agoThat's an awesome idea and very nice execution.
- edwardsmason 14y agoThanks.. i have no idea what to do with it/ how to grow it now though
- sakaza 14y agoCool game I like it, plays well on the iPad screen size, can't say for iPhone I don't have one atm
