[PYTHON] You can drink Zoom! !! I tried to make a just one style cooperative theme guessing game with Flask + Heroku
Introduction
I like board games. The moment you play a board game while drinking beer is blissful.
However, the influence of the coronavirus makes it difficult to meet in person and play board games. I tried to play a board game with Zoom, but I felt uncomfortable because the board games on the market were made on the assumption that they would be played directly together.
Therefore, I thought that if there was a game that had a high affinity with Zoom and could be played with a Web browser, the discomfort would disappear and it would be interesting. I created a simple game to guess and guess the subject. The name is ** "Poreges" **.
The game itself is a game similar to ** Just One **. This time, I would like to summarize the outline and implementation method of the game.
What I made
** We made a collaborative game ** ** "Poreges" ** that aims for a high score together by guessing the theme from hints.
Respondents will guess from the hints provided by the player and the special hints provided by the system. For example, when the hints presented by the player are "Wimbledon", "Ball", "Prince", and "Kei Nishikori", the common item of those hints is "Tennis", so the respondents guess that the theme is "Tennis". can do.
In this way, it is the heart of this game that the player thinks of hints that allow the respondent to guess the subject. You can see another hint by using the special hint.
If you answer correctly without using the special hint, you will get ** 2 ** points, if you answer correctly using the special hint, you will get ** 1 ** points, and if you answer incorrectly, you will get ** -1 ** points. Repeat ** 8 ** times in total, aiming to maximize the team's total score.
However, there are the following two restrictions. ① Hint is NG for the titles "misnotation", "foreign language / dialect", "similar", "coined word", and "homophone" Example) When the theme is tennis, "Tennis", "Garden ball", and "tennis" are NG.
② If the hint is duplicated between players, the hint is invalid.
It is a simple web application that can be played with a browser. You can play for free from the URL below. ↓ ** "Remote board game with Zoom! Cooperative theme guessing game Poleges" **

Implementation details (technology)
As a system architecture, it was implemented using flask + heroku + sqlie3. It was my first time to create a Web application using flask, so I created it based on the following tutorial. Reference: Flask-tutorial
Also, since my younger brother actively committed from the second major update of UI and UX, I created a wireframe with Adobe XD to eliminate the recognition discrepancy. He also made it responsive.
I also used Name.com to charge about 700 yen to acquire my own domain, which I have longed for. Also, I had to charge heroku, so I charged about 700 yen. I was also able to use ACM, which automates SSL operations when charged. Reference: Name.com
theme
I thought about 350 pieces. It was the toughest. The levels were also intuitively sorted. In the future, if the number of players increases, I would like to refine it according to the number of correctness.
Special tips
word2vec I thought that if I used meacb + word2vec with Wikipedia as a corpus, I could get a pretty close hint, so I learned it and tried it. This is the basis for the% closeness of meaning of special hints.
As a result, only about 1 out of 10 could be used as a proper hint. However, he also predicted some very surprising hints. (Lol) Example) Theme "Refugees returning home" → Hint "Second disaster"
Lancers
I found that word2vec couldn't be used that much, so I decided to rely on human resources.
I ordered a special hint of 350 words from a cloud sourcing site called Lancers. When I made it into a project format, about 30 applications came in, so I was able to ask two people for about 1500 yen. Both of them were delivered in one day and the quality was perfect, so I am very satisfied. However, it was a little troublesome to select. Reference: Lancers
Number of users
Although it has introduced Google Analytics, the number of users is 5 to 70 on a daily basis. Looking at Google Search Console, it seems that many users have arrived by searching for "remote board games".
Impressions
I played ** "Poreges" ** with my friends and family and it was fun and satisfying enough. However, when I drink beer, I can't think of any hints. ..
Future outlook
I would like to post it on my blog and gaming platform so that 100 people can continue to visit me on a daily basis. Also, I would like Youtuber to use it and upload play videos. I'm thinking of developing a mode where I can play alone if I can maintain my motivation.
