Guessr - A Flickr Game!

Tuesday, April 14, 2009

So, I wrote a game! It's something I've been wanting to do and had the idea for a while now. The premise of the game is that a random word is selected, a search of Flickr.com is performed with that word and you see the images from that search. Now you have 30 seconds to guess what that word is!

The game is entirely written in javascript/jQuery and is completely themable with jQuery UI. I wrote the majority of it in one afternoon, and made some updates the following week based on some great feedback from friends on Twitter and just some better usability ideas I had.

Take a shot at it and let me know what you think. I hope to find the time soon to make even more improvements to the game.

Photos from Vegas

Wednesday, April 01, 2009

Now that I'm all recovered from the trip to Vegas and my photos have all been processed, here's some more highlights from the trip. We were able to go out and see the beautiful Red Rock National Park, and even though it turned out to be a cold rainy day I think I got some really great photos (and some of the best panoramas I've taken so far!)
