"Draw Flip Flops in Under 20 Seconds".

And, of course, I wasted half of it trying to remember what a latch circuit looked like. Before remembering they probably meant beach shoes.

As a few other other have pointed out, the data from this game is open-source and accessible in number of ways [1].

For an introductory exercise to deep learning for image classification, it's a great alternative (or follow-up) to the classic MNIST dataset [2], which serves as a common "Hello, world" for image-based ML.

We trained and deployed such a model for a demo of our mobile ML tool [3][4]. Feel free to ping me if you're interested, would love to chat.

Many people here have pointed out that the data is available -- https://github.com/googlecreativelab/quickdraw-dataset

I toyed with it some time ago and was impressed to see that -- in the raw data set -- each drawing is a time-series of strokes i.e. you get a person's drawing (of a penguin, the Mona Lisa, etc.) after 0.1 second of drawing, after 0.2 seconds, etc.

I made and (shameless plug!) sell giant algorithmically generated posters which illustrate and play with this idea: each group of 8 rows shows doodles after a decreasing number of seconds. It's fascinating to see how someone's drawing of a "koala" is pretty much set for "success" after a few strokes, while other drawings don't ever really improve with time... or how universal and "well-defined" are drawings of matchsticks, unlike those of kangaroos.

This is neat!
