Hi y'all,
Made this game as a side-project a while back, figure some of you might enjoy it.
Idea came while playing GeoGuessr (as you might have guessed). Artifacts are from the MET API, which is fantastic and well worth exploring for personal projects if you're into that sort of thing.
I'm also working on adding 3D artifacts as in here: https://artifactguesser.com/artifacts/66880eb60da993fab0ffff...
(warning, that page isn't super mobile friendly, but you'll get the idea).
Shameless plug, if you think what I built is neat, I am a fullstack dev looking work, you can contact me at sam@protocodex.com. Also open to anyone who just wants to chat tech and history.
A couple suggestions from my experience:
* Consider a mode that is like Balanced mode, but with weightings applied to somewhat un-skew the geographical distribution. This suggestion prompted by it having felt like it was a bad strategy to guess anything other than Egypt for something that was Islamic.
* Include some way to cap the number of images. There was one artifact (an Iranian rug, sorry I didn't have the presence of mind to copy a link to it) that had 132 images and took over a minute to load. This was the most extreme example, but there were others that had many images and took a long time to load. I feel like 10 images would probably be a good max.
