BidLand
Bid for territory. Put your brand on the world map.
What it does
BidLand turns the world map into a bidding war. Stake real money to claim any of 174 countries, put your startup's name, link, and logo on it, and defend your spot as others try to outbid you. No sign-up friction — just pick a username, stake, and you're live. Climb the leaderboard as Landlord, Emperor, Whale, or Warlord. It's advertising as a game: the more attention your country gets, the more traffic you drive.

I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy.

The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
