Ability to change the radius #14

Closed mccartney closed 2 years ago

mccartney commented 2 years ago

(BTW: I saw your post in HN, thanks for sharing, I have "always" dreamed about a game like this)

What: Would it be an option to select a bigger radius? I'd like to take ~15km for the whole city I live in.

Why: With my local neighborhood the game is boring as I know it all (495/500). I'd like to learn a bigger area.

Interesting, thanks for the feedback! It's semi-related to #5

Just to be safe, you know you can change the location right? For now at least, you could select different areas of the city.

adam-lynch commented 2 years ago

This would also help in the case where there are simply not enough streets and it shows "There aren't enough streets in this area. Please select somewhere else"

I'm going to use this issue as a catch-all for all requests for changing the radius, including making it smaller. there were a few comments on Hacker News about making it smaller. I wonder is it better to think about the number of streets rather than a radius, not sure

adam-lynch commented 2 years ago

Most people have complained that the radius is too large so for now I've reduced it by 20%

Yes. I do. The radius to be bigger would be a nice-to-have.
