#77Nice project Gameplay wise, I find the feedback loop to be lacking tho. Right now, there's no much feedback other than "You got it wrong, actually, it's X. Anyway, moving on...". This makes it less of an educational game and more like a test. For me, I'm always close, so revealing neighbor countries on the map along with the answer (especially for small countries) can add a "spaced repetition" element to the game, it…
Absolutely!! Some more suggestions of mine:
* Show the incorrect guess you just made on the map, even if not close
* Repeat countries that you got wrong within the next 10 turns, to learn by repetition

#79I love it, my only feedback was the I didn't really understand which I was supposed to pick when it showed me N. Korea. Because all I saw the Korean Peninsula, and the north was dark green and the south was light green.
It seems to be showing the recognised territories in dark green and contested areas in light green (e.g. for Russia, Crimea is also in light green, although interestingly not Eastern Ukraine, and IIRC the West of Guyana was shown in light green for Venezula). These things are always slightly arbitrary, e.g. why include Taiwan but not, say, Somaliland (both are unrecognised by most other states but de facto independen…
That is correct about the green colors work. Most of the maps are from wikipedia and that's how they do show contested areas in light green. I think I will change them though to another source because it is confusing.
