A free and open-source version of the popular geography game inspired by GeoGuessr. This React based project aims to provide a fun and educational way to explore the world through Google Street View imagery.

• Random Street Views: Experience a new location anywhere in the world on each game.
• Multiplayer Mode: Challenge your friends or play against random opponents in real-time.
• Country Streaks: Test your knowledge and see how many countries you can guess in a row.
• Free to run: The project is open-source and free to run on your own server. Uses the Google Maps Streetview Embed API, which is completely free compared to the costly SDK used by GeoGuessr.

• Leaflet for the minimap display.
• Google Maps API for the generous free-tier on street view imagery.
• Vali by @SlashP for generating balanced locations distributions for all countries.
• Next.js for the web application.
• All contributors who helped bring this project to life!

If you're deploying WorldGuessr on a VPS or any server with an external IP (not localhost), you must configure these environment variables in your .env file:

# Replace YOUR_IP with your server's IP address or domain
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=YOUR_IP:3001
NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_HOST=YOUR_IP:300202

Example with IP:

NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=123.45.67.89:3001
NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_HOST=123.45.67.89:30022

Example with domain (after setting up nginx):

NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=api.yourdomain.com
NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_HOST=ws.yourdomain.comm

1. MongoDB - Create a cluster on MongoDB Atlas (free tier available) and add the connection string:

   MONGODB=mongodb+srv://username:[email protected]/worldguessr

2. Google OAuth - Create credentials at Google Cloud Console:

   NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id.apps.googleusercontent.com
   GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secrett

3. API/WS URLs - Point to your external IP or domain (see above)
