Original game: https://www.geoguessr.com/
Clone (TEMPORARILY CLOSED): https://geoguessr-clone.github.io/
This is a clone of GeoGuessr, a popular geography game, where you need to guess the StreetView location. Initially, this clone was written on Vanilla JS and jQuery with Gulp (GitHub repo). But in a year I decided to rewrite it on React, so here it is. I also have some ideas to implement to make the clone better.
I'm not a pirate. I didn't hack any sources. I don't cooperate with pirates or somebody else who's bad... I just took an idea for my own and others' education/experience making web-apps and working with APIs. I don't monetize this project. I encourage you to use the original.
Firstly, clone the repo to your computer and install the dependencies (npm install
), but don't run yet. Create your Google
Cloud API Key and enable the Maps JavaScript API. It's free (with limits), you can find a lot of tutorials on the
internet. Go to your project folder, follow the .env.example
file in the root and create the .env
file with same
contents. Copy your API Key and place it after the "=" sign in your .env
file (don't forget to save). Now you can run
the project (npm start
) and open the URL the CLI says (usually it's localhost:3000
). That's all :)
The API key of geoguessr-clone.github.io has reached its req/mo limit, therefore the game prod is temporarily closed. While I'm working on it, you can try to run the code with your own API key (described above). And if you're looking forward, check the game once a month.
