    How well do you know your area? Test your knowledge by locating streets with this game.

  • Thanks for the kind words and for your time in writing this. Great feedback. FYI I'm tracking issues & requests here: https://github.com/adam-lynch/back-of-your-hand/issues

    I love the idea of difficulty modes like "taxi driver". That might help in making everyone happy; people have wildly varying opinions on difficulty.

    >A small aside: I found it pleasantly devious that the circle restricts the scrolling at higher zoom levels! Just in the cases where the target street is very close to the border it might be nice to relax it a bit though...

    You're the second person to mention that some amount of over-scrolling would be helpful so I'll add that soon.

    >While choosing the location, when pressing the "Zoom In" button 2-4 times suddenly street names were displayed again! Is this intentional so people can easier find their starting point? Firefox 98.0 on Linux

    OK thanks. I think this is just that the map tiles didn't load quick enough and you saw through to the layer with streets. I'll look into it soon.

    >Would it be possible to export a map view to print it out in good quality for offline reconnaissance / tinkering?

    I'm not sure what you mean here. Can't you get maps elsewhere? Or do you mean the final screen where it shows the maps with the 5 streets marked out?

  • You could have a look into how https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/ does it. I'm sure there are better ways but might spark some inspiratino at least!
