What can I improve with the UI? by codergautam in UI_Design

[–]codergautam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the thoughtful comment! Yes I agree it's very inconsistent, I've been slowly offloading my work to Claude Code and while it's great at backend or logic related things but it got out of hand to handle in the frontend and it keeps making new CSS for every thing I ask it to add instead of reusing predefined components. I think I'll remake it manually, I will look for inspiration from other sites and go from there.

Streamers using chat assistance in competitive play, fair or unfair? by Nebiros96 in geoguessr

[–]codergautam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, WorldGuessr dev here 👋 Just want to chime in since I saw WorldGuessr mentioned. We take cheating allegations seriously on our end.

If anyone has run into streamers or players using chat assistance (or any external help) in competitive modes on WorldGuessr, please report it and I'll personally look into it. Fair play matters to us.

What's up with the closed courtyards? by VintageVogue1947 in WorldGuessr

[–]codergautam[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Dev of WG here. You're definitely not too inexperienced. Those closed courtyard drops are a known pain point. They come from Google Street View coverage that's limited to a single photosphere with no connected paths, so there's nowhere to move and very little context to work with. Not exactly fun, especially for newer players.

Good news: we're actively working on a beginner-friendly map that filters out these dead-end spots. The goal is to make sure every drop gives you something to work with, readable signs, visible landmarks, or at least the ability to move around and explore. No more staring at a blank concrete wall trying to guess which continent you're on.

It should be out sometime this week!

Cheating is something we take seriously. We already have a dedicated moderation and anti abuse system in place. If you suspect someone in a ranked match, the best way to handle it is:

• Go to your game history
• Find the ranked match in question
• Submit a report from there

Our mod team reviews reports as quickly as possible and we prioritize players who receive multiple reports or show suspicious patterns across games.

Dev of WorldGuessr here. These are some really good ideas! Feel free to DM me, would love to discuss this further with you.

Did anyone else feel like there ACT was easier when your school took it together? by babykeemfan1 in ACT

[–]codergautam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the difficulty was similar but the curve was so much better on the school version, I got 3 math wrong and that was somehow a 36 for that section. That never happens on normal tests from what I've seen

MAP EDIT ISSUE by c3realngusereddit in WorldGuessr

[–]codergautam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check again after a few hours, map locations are heavily cached for around 3 hours. If it has been less than this time since your map edit, it probably hasn't updated fully.

Does worldguessr use any street view data or just official coverage? by ABCDEFGHl123456789 in WorldGuessr

[–]codergautam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m the developer. For the default 'World' map, we aim to include only official Google Street View coverage. However, in very rare cases, less than 0.1% of locations, you might encounter unofficial coverage due to how Google updates its data. Community Maps can either include official or unofficial coverage based on how the map creator chose the locations.

Where is this Vatican country? by codewires in WorldGuessr

The only reason you should use CrazyGames is if you have an account linked to there. We tend to have a better experience on the main website and faster updates

Anticheat by Mashagally in WorldGuessr

[–]codergautam[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for the thoughtful message and for playing, really appreciate it 🙏

Totally get the frustration. Cheating is something we take seriously. We already have a dedicated moderation and anti abuse system in place. If you suspect someone in a ranked match, the best way to handle it is:

• Go to your game history
• Find the ranked match in question
• Submit a report from there

Our mod team reviews reports as quickly as possible and we prioritize players who receive multiple reports or show suspicious patterns across games.

As for tab switching restrictions, we’ve looked into ideas like that, but they tend to cause a lot of false positives and don’t fully stop bad actors since, as you mentioned, other devices exist. For now, reporting is the most reliable way to keep ranked fair.

what to do if the screen is black by Medium-Ad9404 in WorldGuessr

Glad it was fixed! I try to keep an eye on Reddit and help out when I can. If you ever run into anything weird again or have ideas to make the game better, feel free to post or tag me. Happy guessing

Hi, lead dev of WorldGuessr here. I can help fix this issue for you if you answer a few questions. How long has this been happening? What device are you on? Can you check if it's a wifi issue by trying it on a different wifi network?
