Satellite Image Guesser

Satellite

## Inspiration We took inspiration from a popular geography game called GeoGuessr but with a twist on our own. Instead, we wanted to create a geography guessing game from a satellite view. We hope people who play this game learn more about their geography.

## What it does We created a game where players guess the location of an image on a globe. The more points you are awarded depending on how close the player's point is to the actual location on the world image.

## How we built it We used Google Maps API to generate random images of the world map into the game. Using HTML , Javascript, and CSS for the front end of a website, and Python for the backend. We used Chatgpt to do some of the more confusing parts of game logic such as updating the satellite image after each new guess and parsing through debugging.

Challenges we ran into

Creating a formula to convert the latitude and longitude coordinates of the globe into the pixel coordinates of the world map. Scaling the world map into the game.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to create a function that converts the actual coordinates of the world map into the pixel coordinates of the world map. We also successfully used API from Google Maps and imported other files such as mapGen, cordConvert, pygame, and math. We were able to organize everything together.

## What we learned We learned how to incorporate API from Google Maps. We learned precision is really important in this Satellite Image Guesser, where we had to create a function that converts the actual coordinates of the world map into the pixel coordinates of the world map.

## What's next for Satellite Image Guesser The next step is to incorporate web development components into the UL. We also want to make our world map to scroll in and out.
