Show HN: GitGuessr – test your code reading skills in a GeoGuessr-like game

https://www.gitguessr.com/
1•nikhaldi•1h ago
I built this game as a playful way to train code reading skills. You're dropped into a random location in a real GitHub repo where some lines code are hidden. The goal is to pick up clues from the surrounding code and fill in the missing lines as quickly as possible. It currently has curated game content for Python, TypeScript, JavaScript (by most metrics the top 3 languages on GitHub).

I had the idea when it dawned on me that reviewing and understanding code spat out by an LLM is a key skill for the AI era. (I sincerely hope you're critically reviewing what your favorite LLM is serving you.) Plus I like GeoGuessr and it was fun to put those two concepts together.

Playing a game requires authenticating with GitHub at the moment. Apologies for the hurdle, but it's a small one if you already have a GitHub account.

Any feedback welcome! Especially on how to improve game mechanics, either the fun or the educational aspect of it.
