    I wonder where the scores come from -- is it AI or a basic image match?

    Also, somewhat prior art (literally):

    This game is hilarious. I love the reveal, how my poor, horribly drawn, mobile touch-based drawing compares to the actual person; the juxtaposition was really funny.

    I kinda wish I could see other people’s drawings.

      You might enjoy Telestrations. It's like telephone but: A person starts with a prompt, another draws it, another interprets the drawing into a prompt, another draws it, etc.

      Turns out Mr. Peanut looks more like the horriblye love child of a jar of mustard and a ninja turtle when I draw him.

    That was incredibly fun, although challenging on a smartphone. If you can guess the character it's a lot easier (100%, 99%, 96%, 85%), but even with ones I couldn't guess, it gave a reasonable score (Hollow Knight: 74%, Steve Harvey: 84%, Sirenhead: 69%) for following the directions.

    I can't wait to see how actual artists do with this game.

    Ive always wondered if I sat down with a sketch artist and was asked to describe my wife, how close we would get.

    Would be good to see witnesses description text after the case reveal. E.g. I kinda remember text says "black eyebrows" but the image clearly shows white eyebrows, would be cool to review.

    All I see is dialogs getting in the way. The last one loops back to the first, I can't get out of that.

      Don’t you see the Done button?

    Warning: autoplays audio. Loud.

    I don't have audio on this PC so I cant hear anything but the drawing tool lags massively in FF on Linux. Like a few seconds if I move the cursor very fast.

    210 partners want to track me as I use this, and I can’t decline in one click. Why is that necessary?

      Huh. I thought neal.fun was above that kind of thing, to the extent that I was about to write a comment saying you might have malware. But I just disabled my browser extensions to double check, and I see it too.

        I associate neal.fun with that Google popup since I've never seen it anywhere else. It has been there since Infinite Craft at least and I've always wondered what the deal is. It even says "Managed by Google. Complies with IAB TCF. CMP ID: 300" at the bottom of his home page.

        I can understand if he needs a way to fund it but seems overly explicit if it's just for running some ads.

      Use Firefox with uBlock Origin? I see only two: google and plausible.io -- both are blocked.
