| This is a web game about guessing and learning about geography through imagea and maps, made with Swisstopo's GeoAdmin map of Switzerland. After several years of development as a series of [[https://www.geo.admin.ch/en/thematic-geoportals-federal-offices/storymaps-telling-stories-with-geodata.html|GeoAdmin StoryMaps]] - try the original [[http://mf-swissguesser.prod.bgdi.ch/main/storymaps/storymap5/|SwissGuesser game here]] - we play tested, forked and started a refresh of the project at [[http://make.opendata.ch/wiki/event:2017-09|#GLAMhack 2017]]. | This is a web game about guessing and learning about geography through images and maps, made with Swisstopo's GeoAdmin online maps of Switzerland. For several years this game was developed as open source, part of a series of [[https://www.geo.admin.ch/en/thematic-geoportals-federal-offices/storymaps-telling-stories-with-geodata.html|GeoAdmin StoryMaps]]: you can try the original [[http://mf-swissguesser.prod.bgdi.ch/main/storymaps/storymap5/|SwissGuesser game here]], based on the dataset mentioned above, now hosted at [[https://opendata.swiss/en/dataset/historical-photograph-collection-active-service-in-the-first-world-war|Opendata.swiss]]. |

| We updated all library dependencies but got rid of the old data loading mechanism, with the goal of connecting (later in real time) to open data sources such as Wikidata/Commons. A test is being done via the Wikidata Linked Data endpoint (see app/data/*.sparql in [[https://github.com/loleg/openguesser/tree/wikidata-initial|wikidata-initial branch]]), notably via datasets tagged 'glam' on Opendata.swiss for creating custom games. | Encouraged by an excellent Wikidata workshop ([[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hwUBbtP0TppAKrEpjtSjdOXePZ_7OIRNDWsAHzVk0NA/htmlpresent|slides]]) at [[http://make.opendata.ch/wiki/event:2017-09|#GLAMhack 2017]], we are testing a new dataset of Swiss museums, their locations and photos, obtained via the Wikidata Linked Data endpoint (see app/data/*.sparql in [[https://github.com/loleg/openguesser/tree/wikidata-initial|wikidata-initial branch]]). This opens the possibility of connecting other sources, such as datasets tagged 'glam' on Opendata.swiss, and creating more custom games based on this engine. |

| There are a few other improvement ideas in mind already: | Demo 1: **[[http://openguesser.utou.ch/|OpenGuesser Demo]]** (not fully working yet) |
| |
| * Redesign to improve aesthetics and usability. | Demo 2: **[[http://tinyurl.com/yaozelrt|Wikidata Query]]** for first 10 results |
| * Add a new title and tutorial, complete with loading sequence. | |
| * Difficulty levels. | |
| * Multiple guesses. | |
| * Cooperative play (e.g. ghost traces of a friend) | |
| * High scores. | |
| * Sound f/x! | |
| |
| ..and we would be glad to see more ideas and any contributions: please raise an [[https://github.com/loleg/openguesser/issues|Issue]] or PR if you're so inclined! | We play-tested, revisited the data, then forked and started a refresh of the project. So far we updated all library dependencies but got rid of the old data loading mechanism, with the goal of connecting (later in real time) to open data sources. A bunch of improvement ideas are already proposed, and we would be glad to see more ideas and any contributions: please raise an [[https://github.com/loleg/openguesser/issues|Issue]] or Pull Request on GitHub if you're so inclined! |
