New game: To cities.

[kirillPro2020]

Why not play with Monica to cities. ( Still know the rules, huh?).

[AsuraShun]

What game is that?

[kirillPro2020]

This is a game where one player calls the city. Anyone he wants. And the second should call the city based on the last letter of the named city of the firsr player. Then they change. ( For example: New York means the second player needs to name the city with the letter k. It turns out Kent).

That's a game I would play. This Wikipedia article might be useful in creating the dataset for cities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_cities_and_towns

Also maybe Monika could use a simple dictionary to play something similar to shiritori - just use words instead of city names.

Looking at this, would likely have to limit to cities with over 100k people in it. There's the most comprehensive list for that and also you go lower than that the list gets even huger than it already is.

[vikanezrimaya]

Sounds fine, but maybe let Monika warn the player that "they only covered relatively big cities in their geography classes"

[jmwall24]

Yeah, we can just specify the rules are only cities with over 100000 people. The list of every city, town, village would be like 2.5M lol

[kirillPro2020]

I think that it will be enough, to indicate cities with millionaires, there are about 350 of them. (In this game, only cities are called)

[jmwall24]

I just populated the list of cities with over 100k people and it's 4292 long, so manageable.

[kirillPro2020]

Hmm, I found 4809 cities with a population of 100k people. (it's still a lot).

[jmwall24]

can i see where you got that list please?

[kirillPro2020]

I found it at a foreign source. I can drop the link if necessary.

[jmwall24]

Please do

Thanks. I think we'll use the list I found, it's newer data, sorted better and I don't have to translate it lol. I appreciate it though!

[AsuraShun]

This game actually sounds fun

[kirillPro2020]

I have a question regarding the list of city names. Is it a plain text file or something else?

[ThePotatoGuy]

so shiritori but with cities

[ThePotatoGuy]

[closing until we look into it]

[jmwall24]

the linked PR is the same game, just different words would be used (cities here, normal words for the other) so reopening this as in-progress.
