As someone who is kind of awful at geography I think this is pretty great. Kind of a Duo Lingo for countries of the world.<p>However, I found the population ones frustrating because there were multiple answers kind of in the same ballpark. For example, I think it makes sense to teach people a country of 20 million vs a country of 100 million but 57,100,000 vs 57,200,000 is a bit of a trick question to me.<p>Also, when I did get questions wrong I found the app very unhelpful to correct me. As others have stated, those info boxes are much more useful after a wrong answer than a right one. Most of the ones I got wrong was a guessing game to randomly pick something.
This is great. I'm a big fan of anything that makes memorization and learning fun and iterative.<p>Is it appropriate if I share one of my own creations?<p><a href="https://ablakey.github.io/state-machine/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://ablakey.github.io/state-machine/index.html</a><p>The State Machine is a little geography game I made that I think can be addictive due to its simplicity.
The “back” function seem broken on mobile. Also, it’s not a fun learning experience if you don’t get the correct answer when you get something wrong.<p>It’s also not “unlucky” to be wrong, don’t patronise your users.
Neat! Happy it works on mobile web. FYI, there’s a short pause after getting a wrong answer that almost seems like the app is waiting for me to try again. Sadly if I tap during that moment, the ui updates and then I get the next one wrong too. Maybe hide or grey out the answers once you get a question wrong? Or as a sibling comment said, just show the extra info right or wrong. Thanks for sharing!
Looks pretty and feels good :-)<p>Reminds me of the 'Ultimate Geography' decks for Anki [1].<p>Would love to see some kind of a multiplayer version.<p>[1]: <a href="https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2109889812" rel="nofollow">https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2109889812</a>
Nice!<p>I like the idea and design<p>Two things that bugged me:<p>1. I'd like a fast mode, where you just get immediate feedback on the answer (with correct answer displayed) and then onto next question immediately without showing the country info bit<p>2. who's flag -> whose flag (or "which country's flag is this")
This is cool. One nit: The "read more about" button isn't a button, but a clickable div. So it doesn't look like a clickable element to Vimium, screen readers, etc.<p>Otherwise, good job.
I thin you should gather people's mistakes for each question and present correct answer together with some of the most mistaken ones.<p>I got 6/7 capitals right (7th on second try) just by eliminating insane sounding ones and without actually being able to name the capital of any country I was asked about.
I think the 'some info' page should be shown after every answer, especially on answers that were marked as incorrect. How will I ever learn if it doesn't tell me what the right answer is? Other than that, nice work!
Looking at the URL: <a href="https://geogee.me/-ze-a1-ah-za-a2-xa4-zg-aa-zg-a4-zg-ab-zg-a5-za-a3-b8-zg-af-bd-zg-b5-ze-a6-ze-ag%22Ljubljana%22-zg-al-d200-zb-ag%22Yerevan%22-zg-al-d010-zb-ag%22Sana'a%22-zg-al-d242-zb-ag%22Anju%22-zg-al-d160-zf-za-a7-ze-ag-c200-zg-ay%22Ljubljana%22-zg%22lnglat%22%3A%5B14.81666666-zg46.11666666-za-ak-e200-zg-al-d200-zd-be-ah-zf-zf" rel="nofollow">https://geogee.me/-ze-a1-ah-za-a2-xa4-zg-aa-zg-a4-zg-ab-zg-a...</a>, it seems that the answer is always the last city name mentioned in the URL, so you could cheat at this pretty easily
Love it. Especially like that it's actually difficult. I used to think I'm good at geography, but after getting just 4/7 on the capital cities quiz, maybe I'm not so hot after all.
I too was annoyed by the broke back button. But that's a great game. I enjoyed the chance to get it right by the end of the quiz and the educational content after each question.
Just as a heads up since I don't see it mentioned in the comments yet, I got a description of Palestine for Peru, apart from the hiccup it's definitely a lot of fun
Not sure if the "Maps of X" games are titled appropriately. They should be called "Shapes of X". Even after learning shapes of various countries, I don't learn where they are on a map, though I can recognize them by searching a map and
eventually identifying them by their shape. Maybe in the info section after you guess it right, you can show a map and show the country you just identified highlighted on the map.
Another good "countries of the world game" which is more based on maps is: <a href="http://click-that-hood.com/" rel="nofollow">http://click-that-hood.com/</a><p>Especially the Africa variant: <a href="http://www.youdontknowafrica.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.youdontknowafrica.com/</a>
Bugs:<p>1. spelling error: Who's flag → Whose flag<p>2. Nepal's flag shows a white background, it needs to be transparent!<p>3. There's too much artificial delay, eliminate it to vastly improve the UX. Compare with your competitors; in the time it takes to complete only seven quiz questions on geogee I can tear through dozens of them on kgeography v0.9.
Quick comment.<p>I got 3 incorrect questions on population wrong.<p>In the "try again" mode at the end, I couldn't actually remember which ones I answered incorrectly for each question.<p>So it might help to indicate which answers you already got wrong in that phase.
I got a question about the Chinese flag. It being black stars for some reason, I thought it's another country and guessed wrong three times. Check your flags, something seems to be wrong with the colors.
Found a bug: <a href="https://imgur.com/a/mVVi5a8" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/mVVi5a8</a><p>Very cool though! :-)
This is really beautiful. And it even made me think about how sad it is to know nothing about so many small, "unimportant" countries. So I bookmarked it, and thanks.<p>Also thank you for making something that is not yet another app that didn't have to be one. Making a mobile friendly site that looks great on desktop is certainly possible, and that's the side we should err on IMO.
