What it does
Mapfold hides one country a day — the same one for everyone, changing at midnight UTC. Each round you're dealt three questions and you buy one. Every question is priced in bits: one bit halves the board of 192 countries exactly, so you can see what you're paying for before you spend it. Then you name a country. A miss costs a guess and folds everything the answer ruled out into night, and the globe turns to show you what's left. No instant loss, no account, no payment.
One hidden country a day, the same for everyone. Choose what to ask, fold half the world into shadow, and find what is left. Free, no account.
Mapfold is a free daily geography game. One hidden country a day, the same one for everyone, rolling over at midnight UTC. Each round you choose one of three questions to put to the world, priced in bits — one bit halves the board — then name a country. A miss costs a guess and folds everything the answer ruled out into shadow. No account, no payment, and the archive and unlimited practice are free too. Mapfold hides one country a day, the same one for everyone. You choose which question to put to the world, read the fact it turns up, and name a country. A miss rolls everything the fact ruled out into shadow — and the globe turns to bring what is left back into daylight. Three questions…from mapfold.io

Hi HN, I made a web game to practice country locations a while ago and HN liked it, so I thought I'd post my updated version as well. As for how the game works and feels, I'd really recommend you checking it out for yourself, it's free, no signup, no ads. The tech stack is Vue + ts + Tailwind/Daisy for the looks. The learning algorithm is a slight modification of the ts version of FSRS. If you have anything to add, it's open source as well (https://github.com/koljapluemer/learn-worldmap), although not well documented yet. In the end it's just a little sideproject,…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! 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. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
