#2Created GitHubGuessr: guess the repo from code snippets. Surprisingly challenging. Thoughts?

One of my quizzes included the copyright header for swift which was a giveaway, another was simply a pair of closing brackets and no other text at all, making it impossible. Overall the other ones that worked when it did work were fun though.

#5Cool idea, but first I got a file which immediately read "This source file is part of the Swift codebase" or smth, and them I got one which is just the characters "})", so pretty inbalanced. Took me a while to figure out that the arrows change between files.

Honestly way too hard for me to be enjoyable. I really love the peak at the code concept, but I'm unfamiliar with most/all of the projects listed.. I would love a simplified version with less choice..

#7Cool idea, a few suggestions:
1. Clicking on the "Select" dropdown gives me the (I believe) complete list of options, which is not that big, so it's easy for me to pick from those options instead of guessing. Autocomplete is alright (similar to Framed or Guessthegame) but I shouldn't be able to see all from the start.
2. If the previous becomes too hard, you could add a few more tries with more pictures if I failed, ideally these would come in decreasing order of difficulty, but I understand that ought to involve more manual work so you could make do with just more random pictures from the same codebase which might help me.
3. Finally, a "share" button which copies my score to the clipboard so I can share it with my friends would be cool. A "daily" challenge would be great too so I can make sure we compete on the same codebase as my friends (otherwise I might get an easier challenge) though this will probably imply getting a new codebase for each day, and making the list of options much bigger.

Thank you for giving it a try! You're right, I might have chosen repositories that I'm familiar with. Themes like Simple version, Web development or Pythonista could be a good idea.

Oh, such cases can ruin the fun of the game. It's best to remove them as much as possible. Thanks for letting me know!

maybe gradual hints should be shown as the counter gets closer to zero?
