Fun game to improve military equipment recognition skills

What it does

Im in the military and seeking to create a fun and engaging way for soldiers and military enthusiasts to improve their ability to identify military equipment (tanks, aircraft, guns, etc). The user gets a picture of a piece of equipment and must then identify on a map where in the world it comes from. Hopefully people will find this more engaging than the usual handbooks or playing cards!

    I made a game for learning the country flags of the world2024 · flagmatch.com · ▲54

So, I decided to make a free game for anyone who enjoys flags and wants to improve their knowledge. You can compete against others because each game is timed. Have fun!

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
