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.
Play Guessr!

Pretty sweet game. I only got one right so far.

It’s easy to cheat with Firebug.
You should crypt the word returned by words.php using php.js…
Found this on This Week in jQuery, really nice idea! Might have been better if it was multiple choice, or maybe im just rubbish…
Very impressed!
cool, nice job. Ever watch http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8246463980976635143 ?
David, No I haven’t seen that before and it’s very fascinating, thanks for sharing! It’s given me a few ideas for new features in the game… now I just need some free time to work on it some more.
Excellent work!
