Can this be divided per drawer's country? I'd love to see how Americans draw the world map, versus, say, British or German.

    I do not collect user data so currently this is not possible.

    I could ask as an opt-in as it would be interesting for sure

    I'd be curious about the same thing but with world capitals, and high school math. Especially by generation, not just country.

    You hear a lot of things (both positive and negative) about various countries and their education, it would be interesting to see some actual data.

    One unsurprising trend I have noticed is that countries that value education more highly, put more effort (and more money) into it.

      This is one of my long term goals with my site

      Collect user-generated data (drawings, answers) through games and interactive pages, then measure the results and compare to open data sets or against common conceptions

Hi all,

I created "Borderline", a border drawing game a few weeks ago.

Since then, thousands of people have played it and I have accumulated over 37,000 drawings, which are now all stacked on a blank canvas.

This allows you to see the world as people remember it.

You can also check similar maps for the US, France, the UK, Germany, Australia, and Switzerland.

Alternatively, you can also draw a few borders yourself (free, no signin required)

    That was quite fun, and I enjoyed the data mining aspect of it. Quite edifying, thanks!

      Thanks for your kind words. I love how the sum of all the errors still makes something that is correct :)

Unrelated: what is "habibi"? To me (and I know nothing), it always sounded like a pejorative term for franco-arabs but I never bothered to validate

    It just means "my beloved"/"my dear".

    It means “my love” in Arabic but you can also use it with friends

    • pluc 1 hour ago

      So in this case it would roughly be "my lovely code"? Or "Code, my loves"?

      • nicocarsui 1 hour ago

        It doesn't mean too much beside a funny name, and my love for the Arabic language

    it means “my love” but sometimes we also use it like how american southerners say “bless your heart” or africans say “my brother in christ”, so that might why you have a negative connotation of it
