Hi @kvothe

Thanks for sharing.

I really had a good time playing β€œflags”. Here are some hot takes:

  • some countries have the same flag (ex: Norway and Bouvet Island) ; this should accept all answers
  • not being an English native, its is hard to have the perfect spelling ; this should accept typos (ex: Libanon for Lebanon)
  • when flashing the correct answer this should let the previous flag in place, for visual memorization ; currently, the correct answer is displayed after the next flag being shown
  • maybe build a challenge with only the most populated countries ; it is very hard to know all the pacific islands. maybe also build a challenge with only the small ones, as they have quite beautiful flags ; maybe build challenges per continents
  • add space repetition : the one you failed appear more often than the one you get right
  • and of course add a share button to show off your score with your friends and spread the word :slight_smile:

If you setup an open repo, there could be some contributions.
