Ingress Glyph Quiz

Ingress Glyph Quiz

This little hack provides an interactive quiz to help you learn the "hacking glyphs" in the game Ingress. Thanks to http://glyphtionary.com for the images you see in this quiz.

It's crude and probably buggy. It was made by @spblat. It's licensed under the MIT License, which means I don't really care what happens to it but I do retain some basic rights.

This script displays images pulled directly from glyphtionary.com. If this annoys them they have the ability to break this script by denying access except with a proper referrer. If they do that, I'll give them this code and ask them to host it themselves, cause that would be cool.

To do maybe (perhaps by someone else):

Mobile version

Track a user's trouble glyphs and focus on those

Eliminate dependence on glyphtionary.com images

Make it so you can't cheat by hacking the URL or looking at the status bar

Social networking features, score-sharing

Make it use cookies for some reason

Features I don't care about:You can see and contribute to the perl source at GitHub

There are 125 glyphs in this quiz.
