Too often, I catch myself thinking, just one more feature, or bug fix, or design change, before I tell anyone about a project. However, I became quite inspired by the post by patio11: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=448842<p>So, I've started making my duck (a location-based, social gaming platform). Right now, this consists of a lot of little experiments and mini-projects. The first of which I call "The Booking Desk" (http://10balloons.com/bd/index.php?y).<p>This app allows you to view mugshots and try to match it to the crime (listed in one of the options on the right). Right now, I'm at Duck 1.0, but hopefully I can build off the momentum and make it to Duck 1.2. For now, thanks Patio! And I hope someone has fun playing with this.
Are these real mugshots of people actually convicted??? If that is the case, then I have a big ethical problem about this 'game'.<p>The purpose of a game should be to provide fun and put a smile on the player's face, and it should be done in such a manner that others are not being demeaned in the process.<p>Sorry if this sounds rude, but this is absolutely disgusting to me.<p>EDIT: According to your help link, these aren't even convicted people, only those who have been arrested, which makes this even worse.
That isn't bad. It should automatically move to the next mugshot when I click on a charge though. Also allowing retries is lame, give right or wrong, and only reuse if they've gone through all the images. Finally, it'd be more cracktastic if it was always one more, just one more... As it is, you have to make a <i>decision</i> to do another 5 after the first five. And another thing, if you implement that then I want a moving updated percentage of my performance.<p>I think you've got the seeds of an FB app here. Good job.
