Hey developers! 👋
I've always been a fan of geography games, but I wanted to build something different: a game that tests your "vertical" intuition—recognizing cities from high-resolution satellite imagery rather than the typical street view.
So I built SatPixel.
The Tech Stack 🛠️
Since this is a side project, I wanted a stack that was fast, free to host, and easy to scale:
- Framework: Next.js (App Router)
- Deployment: Vercel
- Maps Engine: MapLibre GL JS (Open source alternative to Mapbox)
- Imagery: Primarily ESRI World Imagery for high-res clarity.
Try it out
I'd love to get some feedback from the dev community on the UI and game difficulty.
