Guess Who? with your friends

This was a fun project to build the game Guess Who with your facebook friends, as suggested by a friend of mine.

Facebook doesn't let you directly access profile pictures or other data of people unless they've explicity allowed your app access. Without pictures the game doesn't really work, so I abused the game-invite api to scrape pictures. However, it never really worked outside of developer testing, and facebook's since locked stuff down more.

guesswho's Issues

Warn when content blocker blocks Facebook

Allow user to undo turn type choice

Autofocus question textbox

Add "face to face" mode.

Should skip most actions and allow eliminations at any time from either player. Maybe provide a "guess" button but make sure it can't be abused.

Persist gameplay to data store

I want to save

• user information
• user stats
• current game state
• game history
• user history

Add more info to logged out page

Questions you can choose from

Add Facebook invites

Add action time limit.

Timeout after a certain amount of time and either resend the action or shut the game down.

Hard to see the photo once it's eliminated

Maybe tap and hold to "unflip"

Show the question when displaying the yes or no response

Game invites

A user should have to accept a game, instead of it starting automatically.

Games will need some concept of "pending player"
Getting an active game needs to be aware of if a user has accepted or not.

Game replays

Replay the both players' elimination history.
