Amazing video, thank you so much! Can you please explain what you said at 0:54? For what I've seen, there are only 28,500 maploads per month (which is still good, although for many players this could be a bit too much)
Hi! I'm glad you liked the video! The Google Maps API has a click event listener which you can wait for and it gives you the longitude and latitude that you clicked on. Then, I reverse engineered the calculation for distance by playing a lot of real Geoguessr rounds to see if I could come up with an equation that matched distance to a score using linear regression. I now know that someone already did this and did it much better than me. I'll send resources here: developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/event-click-latlng www.reddit.com/r/geoguessr/comments/7fon8u/geomath_deriving_the_geoguessr_point_formula/ I hope this helps! Are you trying to replicate it?
@@R2bEEaton thanks so much for all of that. 😃 I was thinking of doing something similar but maybe for videogame maps but using the world map as a starting point to learn the main ideas however my coding experience is pretty limited so we’ll have to see!
@@HP-0101 Awesome! In that case I would really recommend you check out OpenStreetMap which lets you set "tiles" of different quality for zooming. It can be used for real maps but as long as you supply it the right files, you can get it to show a game map!
Hey, like the freegeoguessr alot, can we pay something for the source code? I want to make a quiz and implement into my website as a fun way to interact with my customers
Hi! Very unfortunately I have lost the original unencrypted code. Send me an email and I'd be happy to recreate it as a contractor for your company. scgryan@gmail.com
Heyy please release the source code for this, I'm trying to get started making maps related games, and this would be incredibly useful to look through...
I couldn't figure out a way to do it reliably with the Google API so I generated a list of random locations. You can download mine at spea.cc/spotplot/geolist.txt Let me know if you make anything cool with it!
No I actually bruteforce scraped a list of locations from Geoguessr because I couldn't find a way to reliably get random street view locations. There might be a way, but I couldn't figure it out.
@@seymencicek8627 I don't exactly remember because it was a while ago, but here is my location list if you'd like to use it for yourself: spea.cc/spotplot/geolist.txt Good luck!
Call it "Are we there yet?" or "WhereAmEye"! Love the video man, really cool project, keep it up!
Great suggestions and thanks for the support!
@@R2bEEaton We should work on a project together sometime!
@@SyntheticProgramming ooo, good idea. Now we just need an idea 😂
Hey man, nice work, I'm also a programmer, and it's one of the most impressive things I've seen in a while!
This is such a good video why isn’t it popular yet
Thank you!
R2bEEaton I’m sharing this I really like it
Can we get the source code of this pleaseeeee.

hi!, big fan of the game is very fun. Would you ever add a compass to the game? nice work also
This is really cool! I love it!
How did you code the process of clicking the map and calculating how far away it was? Awesome video btw

If there could be a way to dump all the custom locations "maps" in geoguessr it would be way better (world, etc)

What about find n dine
Is there any way I can get the code?
Good app :D
Worldguesser , streetview, findit
how do you make random street view locations?
I couldn't figure out a way to do it reliably with the Google API so I generated a list of random locations. You can download mine at spea.cc/spotplot/geolist.txt
Let me know if you make anything cool with it!
@@R2bEEaton That's awesome, how did you generate this long list?
@@zuowang5185 To be perfectly honest, I scraped it by refreshing a random street view locations website thousands of times.
@@R2bEEaton :)
Drive N Guess
Did you pull the location data you created with fetch api?
No I actually bruteforce scraped a list of locations from Geoguessr because I couldn't find a way to reliably get random street view locations. There might be a way, but I couldn't figure it out.
@@R2bEEaton So how did you array this location data?

@@R2bEEaton Thank you
Not worse version but actually its a work of labor don't belittle ur work pls
