The Tools and APIs That Made My GeoGuessr 🌍 Project Possible

1

Leaflet

For the map interface, I chose Leaflet.js. It’s an open-source JavaScript library for interactive maps. I liked it because it’s lightweight and easy to use. With Leaflet, I could display the map, add markers, and let users interact with it seamlessly.

GeoGuessr is a popular game where players guess locations based on Google Street View images. I wanted to create something similar but with my own twist. To make it happen, I relied on a mix of tools and APIs.

Firebase

I needed a way to store user data, like scores and game history. For this, I turned to Firebase. Firebase is a backend-as-a-service platform by Google. It offers real-time databases, authentication, and hosting—all in one place.

Babel

Cross-Browser Compatibility: Some features worked differently across browsers. I used Babel to transpile my JavaScript code, ensuring it worked consistently everywhere.
