I like games.

So I wrote a game. Nothing glamorous, just one task.

The news keeps referring to Tehran as the one who responded to the USA's return to the détente memo. Now the problem is that Tehran is a city, a rather large one. The Tehran metro area has nearly 17 million people. For comparison, the DC metropolitan area has a population of fewer than 7 million, and this number increases to only 14 million when the Baltimore metropolitan area is included.

This raises the

of which person in Tehran signed the response. Was it someone with some authority to do it, or was it a random guy named Steve or something?

Then, I got thinking—I would bet most Americans could not find Tehran on an unlabeled map. So I created a game.

This game is made for fun, as half a joke—but the USA, Israel, and Iran have been in quicksand for almost half a century now.

There is a leaderboard; it doesn't matter what name you use. Make one up if you went to summer school for 7th-grade geography.If you think you have a pretty good guess, use a name that's identifiable for no prize other than bragging rights.

Please try not to hit another country; let's keep this as contained as possible to the sandbox it's in.

It is playable in this browser - by putting in random name for yourself and hitting play - but I am having a hell of time (my coding skills are not as good as they were on my Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack), so the actual link hosting the game is https://world-pinpoint.lovable.app

might be easier. I am working on it.
