MapPuzzle.xyz

MapPuzzle.xyz is a fun way to learn geography in a playful way. The game features a list of puzzle pieces on the left side of the screen, which can be countries, states, cities, or provinces, among others. Each piece is shown with a map illustration and when clicked, it follows the mouse and the player must find its match on the map. It also has a counter for found pieces, pieces to be found, and mistakes made. Players can choose the map they want to play and filter it by continent and region.

One of the interesting features of the game is that it allows players to translate the names of the puzzle pieces into different languages. This allows them to learn the names of the places in different languages, enriching their gaming experience and helping them develop their language skills.

In addition, every time a piece is placed on the map, players can access Wikipedia data about the place they are exploring. This allows them to obtain additional information about the geography, history, culture, and other areas related to the place, helping them learn more about the world around them.

In summary, the map puzzle game offers a complete and fun educational experience for all ages. Don’t miss out on trying it!

@deck.gl/carto Demo

Test application of Deck.gl using React. The application has been divided into different components of React, communicating with each other. In the tool panel, the following modifications can be made on the map:

  • Change view (Show GeoJsonLayer)
  • Select the continent
  • Thickness of the line
  • Color scale height
  • Line colour
  • Colour of the polygon (the colour will be darker depending on the population level of the country)
  • Table with country information when you place the mouse over the polygon
  • Legend population and country count by Continent

Other features I have yet to explore:

  • Try some other ArcLayer, HexagonLayer, GridCellLayer components, etc
  • To be able to select the layers to be displayed and to zoom into the scope of each one.
