    Hey tilderinos, I've unearthed this project / game of mine after a discussion with a friend yesterday. I wanted to show him this game I made but it got broken because the Teleport API was deprecated and thus it was less fun if we can't at least have an image representing the city.

    And now it's back. With better balancing (less US cities, less Europe cities, more varied set of cities, more wildcards) since I am not limited to what the Teleport cities API gives anymore. Plus I fixed that bug that keeps happening with Bali. I was using rectangles and apparently the "bounding rectangle" of Bali pointed to the ocean making the temperature reading much lower than what is the fair temperature.

    What was a project that was just to buff up my CV ended up one of the games I enjoyed developing. And now with AI assistance, I can balance the game (or at least feel to have balanced it) despite my lack of geography trivia.

    I got up to 15, barely missed out on a close one but it is what it is. Fun little game, well done!

    Since the temperature is "current", I wonder if it would be possible to find a way to use "live" images, such as stills from webcams, rather than previously existing photos. Right now it feels like there isn't enough information "in-game" to help you make your decision (I guess you can use your knowledge of geography and whatever awareness you have of today's weather...)
