This is the source code for STRAFTGUESSR, a GeoGuessr/Wordle-like game where you have to guess the map of the FPS STRAFTAT based on a screenshot.

Back-end

This repo contains the front-end code and static files (screenshots and JSON files) for the back-end.

• For each screenshot, there must be a corresponding JSON file (schema below) that delivers the correct answer(s) and description.
• Both filenames of the JSON and the image files must be identical, so the game can deduce which image belongs to which JSON data.
• There is a file src/lib/round_list.ts that assigns a difficulty to each round via filename. See below for each difficulty's meaning.

I Want to Submit Screenshots!

Great! Here's the easiest way to get your screenshots in the game:

• (Optional but recommended) Install the no-HUD mod from the HideUI.dll file in the root folder of this repository. This allows you to disable the HUD and Exploration Mode text so you can have full view of whatever you're looking at. Perfect for taking screenshots.
• Screenshots in 16:9 are recommended as to keep a constant aspect ratio throughout the game.
• Submit a GitHub pull request with the new screenshots in the subfolder static/round_screens, the corresponding JSON description in static/round_infos, and the difficulty assignment in src/lib/round_list.ts. I will then take a look at it and if anything goes right, approve and merge it, making it public instantly.
• A map can have multiple screenshots! Go bananas; I especially want to see medium and hard screenshots!

JSON Schema for STRAFTGUESSR Screenshots

{
    "correct": ["Map_Name", "Map_Name_2"],
    "desc": "A short description of whatever this screenshot is showing."
}

• correct is an array of correct answers for this screenshot, meaning that a screenshot allows for multiple correct answers.
• desc should be a helpful descrption of the scene depicted in the screenshot.

Difficulties & Their Meaning

• Easy screenshots show parts of the map that are easily reachable by foot, without having to use special movement tricks or similar.
• Medium screenshots show parts of the map that are harder to reach, or hard to discern by first glance. They require some advanced knowledge of the depicted map.
• Hard screenshots show parts of the map that are completely obscure, hard to reach, and only known to the real STRAFTAT cracks and Movement Monsters.

Keep in mind that not every Easy screenshot has to be very easy, vice versa for Medium, but this should be a good first guide!

TODO

• Some code cleanup and refactoring
• Error handling
• Add more screenshots!

Thank You
