How to Use
- Register an account and log in to start playing. Username and email must be unique, so these could be reasons why your registration could fail.
- We play to capture and steal tiles on the map. A tile is a square roughly 1 mile x 1 mile, like you may know from veloviewer or statshunters. A tile can only be held by one person at any time.
- The playground is a 101x101 square of tiles around Karlsruhe. Anything outside is not counted, because it would be too difficult to steal and I want to keep the game in Karlsruhe for now.
- Upload a
.gpx file of your activity (Button in the bottom right) to claim tiles within 48h of activity start. You can download an activity .gpx file for example on the Strava website (not the app). After you've uploaded your .gpx file, you probably need to click refresh in your browser to see your activity in "My Activities" and on the map.
- View your owned tiles on the map and check the rankings.
- Colors in the rankings and on the map correspond to users’ chosen profile colors. You can set your color in your profile.
Quick FAQ
- Can I connect to Strava or Garmin for easier activity import?
- No. I haven't added a Strava connection, because this is a very rough prototype and I also don't even know if the Strava API Terms allow my use case. Garmin could be possible.
- What file formats are supported for uploads?
- I've only tested
.gpx files downloaded from Strava Web.
- Can I delete my account or activities?
- Not yet. Please contact me directly if you need help with this.
