Once I got to 37% total countries identified (seen?), it basically stopped showing me new countries. I went through five or so rounds without seeing anything that I hadn’t seen before. Which was gratifying, since I was getting 20/20 every time, but you might tweak it a little to add in new countries more frequently. | ||

This is cool, but is testing recognition, not recall. It needs an extra challenging mode where you have to provide the country, not multiple choice. | ||

Nicely made! I thought I'm good with flags, and then there come a question of jordan, palestine and two more similar flags. I made a similar but uglier little party game https://geo-dude.com for my kids. Supports up to 4 players | ||

It would be nice if the proportions of the flags were respected. For example Vatican and Switzerland have a 1:1 ratio (square). Nepal with it's extraordinary format seems to be represented ok. | ||

Is there a mode to run through all the countries, instead of just 20? A while ago I practiced every day on an android app, and the pleasure I got when I finally got 196/196 was extremely satisfying. I'd also like to recommend that flags of different aspect ratios be shown correctly. | ||

Huh, it has grouping for the multiple choice, so for a red and white flag (2 horizontal stripes) with some stars the options are Monaco, Indonesia, Singapore, Poland. All of which are horizontally striped and have those 2 colors. Same with the Nordic flags, which have similar geometry but different colors. Nicely curated. | ||

Thought this was going to be Wordle for how to download something correctly using wget. | ||

This is a lot of fun. My 'biggest' gripe is that in the shapes quiz Tuvalu and the Seychelles are so tiny that no image displayed for me that I could see. | ||

Nice website! Could you tell use a bit more about this project? What prompted you to make it? I've been looking for a good ad-free, account-free minimal flag learning website and this looks like a good fit. | ||

The flag of Paraguy says "Paraguy" on it, you might want to blur that. | ||

It should show the meaning of the colors and symbols of the flag after the user answers. | ||

Probably a useful bookmark if you’re going on The Amazing Race. They always throw in a flag quiz toward the end. | ||
