A little web game I made as an anniversary present for my wife. Upload vacation photos and make them into a game. WWW uses EXIF to determine where and when the photo was taken. This is then turned into a game you can send to anyone.

I had hoped that society had learned better than to tolerate "upload all your data and we'll give you a cute little game" back in the era of Facebook games. There's no privacy policy, no data usage policy, no contact information, just "upload all your photos and we'll retain them forever and offer them up to whoever you share a URL with"

Neat idea. I remember when the wall came down, you could buy chunks of it at our local Fred Meyer. (General store and grocery) There was this big bin of pieces. I tried to remember how old I would have had to have been to remember that and was off by 17 months. The mobile view could use some tweaks so it all renders without needing to scroll.

Amazing! Thank you for the idea. My memory is so bad that something like this seems like it would be helpful just to remember any bit of my life.

Interesting! Creating a photo game seems like a good idea.
