Hi HN
I am the creator of Ballpark, a geography game where you have to pin cities, landmarks, and natural features on a world map.
The twist is that, for each round, you must choose how precise your guess is. From a 100m-radius circle to a 500km one.
You can try it here in two modes: Daily Game https://www.habibicode.org/ballpark
Endless https://www.habibicode.org/ballpark/endless
Of course, the game is free and doesn't require an account (you can create one to save your score)
As with my other game, Borderline, I will use the accumulated, anonymous data to produce dataviz and other informational content.
Hope you enjoy it!

Pretty useless, definitely pointless, fun to build, and hopefully interesting to look at!

tried this already, it simply does not work. AI invariably regresses over time, whatever constrain it tells you you built
Here is a globe made from 350,000+ drawings people have traced from memory in my game, Borderline.
Each round asks for a land border (to be traced on a blank map, with major cities, rivers, and reliefs shown) or a coastline (with ground removed).
All the drawings are saved as geographical coordinates and positioned precisely in relation to one another on a blank canvas, at the location they were drawn. When several lines converge at the same point, they become darker, showing where the crowd agrees.
Hope you enjoy it
