I made this game! woohoo
Thank you!
Now then, how was the player supposed to figure out that rectangular gold thing with the four semispheres? Were there clues I missed?
I love the 'top 80%!' bit, by the way!

#42Great idea for a vibe coded project that is actually creative/original. Got in the top 4% as a professional historian. Would be interesting to see the professions of the people in the top .1 percent - is it people with Geoguessr type abilities or more like art historians and curators at the Met, I wonder?
I got in the top 15%, mostly due to the oldrr european/middle eastern artifacts
Just a software developer with an above average interest in that time period.

It's very cool. Thank you!

#44The scoring is the same as a project from a year or two ago that used AI generated videos, I wonder if this a rework of that? I think this is a definite improvement, if so. I think the "top nn%" is misleading if you do terribly, though. "Top 67%" sounds better than average, but a look at the graph shows that my inability to distinguish between locations of tribal art puts me well below average.

It's pretty nondescript but that specific piece was from a pretty famous Avar horde uncovered in Albania. There's a sizeable collection at the Met with things that look similar. Keep an eye out for the rivets and rectangular gold sheets like that, they're belthook designs for nomadic riders!

#46Love it!
But 10 is a bit of a time commitment. I feel like 5 would be ideal for a daily diversion.

#47Nice! That was fun.

#48I wonder how many people are using external resources when playing this. I have a hard time believing that the average lumps so far to the right of the score distribution unless this game is played exclusively by anthropologists haha.
I guess there bias towards people who reckon they can give it a decent shot, Vs others bouncing off thinking 'ha no chance! '

#49I hit one item within 16km, although about 1500 years out :)
