Size-It-Up (Game)

samrus

On mobile it just drags. Doesnt chabge size

this is interesting but not so accessible - I have no conception of how big or small a power station turbine rotor is. I've only seen the pictures of statue of liberty and big ben with no banana for scale. so it's pure guessing, which is less fun. why not more accessible things - a basketball hoop vs a delivery truck, a chicken egg vs a toilet, etc. things you don't ordinarily see side by side but you know roughly the size of each so you can compare.

Fun little game. Had no idea big ben's clock face was so small though haha.

The idea is interesting, but its too USA centric

An astronomical version would be fun. Planets, stars, galaxies, etc.

Now with countries, hehe

Yeah the "new here" instructions are completely wrong on mobile. Also the control could just be a slider. Much easier and simpler on all platforms. Nice idea though.

This is great but the interface/UI needs some work. I tried to max out the power turbine, and the grid did not follow and I assumed it hit the max size. I guess the action would be to zoom out and then further drag, but this is a bit annoying, same for zooming in past some scale.

Today's seemed randomly pretty hard, but I hit the archive button to try and yesterday's, and got all in the 80s and 90s. It's more fun when you think you're skillful!

I think the benefit of the game is lost when it's comparing two obscure objects to each other - many people won't know both, so it becomes more of a guessing game than accurate estimation.

I like it! But you should do biochemistry - atoms, acids, proteins, organelles, cells. I think people's intuition is WAY off and this game could help. In fact I one-shotted this: https://sites.google.com/view/scalecraft/full-page-embed (with argon)

"Not bad - scale is harder than it looks." Coincidentally, so is good web design. One thing that really really annoys me about LLM-generated websites is that they have entrenched, without good reason, --webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased. Also Claude, having evidently been tested by people exclusively under the age of 25, routinely chooses smaller font sizes and lower text contrast than makes any kind of sense.

You need much better objects to guess between... I thought the entire thing was a joke after the second question.
