SOO, The basic concept is that you get thrown into a random location somewhere on earth and you have to explore your sroundings and look for clues like architruere, roads, signs and a lot of other small things to figure out where you are. Then you make your guess on the map and see how close you got.
Made WHERE ON EARTH?, a GeoGuessr-style game where you get dropped somewhere random and have to figure out where you are. You get 5 rounds, guess on the map, and get points based on how close you were.
Getting all the random locations, Street View, map, scoring and game logic to actually work together There were also a LOT of random bugs.
Mostly just how it turned out. I started with a pretty basic idea and somehow ended up with an actual game. I also learned a lot while making it, especially with maps and the Haversine formula.
It’s single-player for now, so give it a try and see how good your geography actually is Multiplayer is probably coming later.

This one took a LOT, and I mean A LOT, of time to finish. From building the game logic and map system to fixing random bugs, tweaking the UI, and making everything actually work together…
it was definitely a journey I couldn’t get multiplayer added this time, but that’s something I’ll work on after I ship this version.
For now, I’m calling it done and shipping it
Really happy with how it turned out, especially considering how much I learned while building it.

Soo, a lot has been done.
First the UI is completed with the game logic aswell.
There are a log of bugs

Google Maps API was lowkey confusing to understand, but I learned just enough to make my project work.
Atm I’m using Google Street View + OpenStreetMap (bc it’s way easier to use but still so good).
Thanks to @openstreetmap for making a free map API
This is basically the structure so far. Next, I’m starting on the CSS for the game, then working on the score system and calculating exactly how far away the user’s guess was.

This was the sketch I had in mind and this is the UI I built from it.
I think it looks pretty cool so far, its just the landing page tho. I would love some suggestions on what I could improve . I still have to make the actual game UI so this is just the start.

Started working on it like 1.5 hours ago.
Got the concept clear and the theme too.
Currently just making the basic functioning app, not focusing on the style that much. Once I have a working app ill focus more on the UI and all.
