Built this in a couple hours, just because I bought a domain and had nothing to do with it.

At the moment, my plan is to turn the questions into multiple choice, which means I need a way bigger database of pictures. Help would be appreciated.

Need: URL for pic & URL for WikiHow article. WikiHow recently started doing a thing where the titles are in the picture, so please make sure it isn't one of those.

Wheeeee!

I run a tumblr with a little bit of a backlog of illustrations on there. If you haven't scraped it yet, let me know and I'll include a few that haven't been posted yet plus all the dross sitting in my inbox.

e: there's also several Wikihow images facebook groups. I can crawl em if it helps.

Yay!

Just went through the first 4 pages and pulled some out.

Also, the game was made multiple choice in the latest push. Works pretty well so far.

Made a bunch of updates.

Added quite a few pictures from chai tea latte's tumblr, and the game will now keep track of your score.

Is it all right to tweet this out or do you still want to do more work on it before non-ballpitty people start visiting?

Seconding the comment on the main site: this setup would be great for the style of game where everyone submits their own caption and people have to guess which one is the actual one.

I don't know any code, goodbye!

If we have articles and pics for you, should we post them on this thread or message you? Because I've got a good one.

Eye of Za: so that was basically my initial idea. Show a picture, ask you to caption it, and then you upvote the funny ones. But, that kind of workflow requires a database communication that I'm really not equipped to make. Everything that made Wrongest Words work was because Dole knew how to handle it. I need communication to be one-way, site to user, and to that end, I'm pretty happy with how it ended up.

Yavuz: email is probably best.

May be out of scope, but it's a little flaky on Chrome on iOS; it persists the answers from the previous image.  I don't really do mobile stuff but if I get a chance I can take a look at it.  I like it though!  Super fun.

I'd found some images I love but that have the bug on them, so I'm storing (some) of the images locally on the site now. This is actually better, since it means I can control file size and URLs. Also it means that I can photoshop out the titles if I need to. (and then add a new watermark just to respect copyright) So keep sending images & titles, please.
