I've written a little tube stations quiz game which I think might appeal
to some of the people here. Please feel free to take a look at
www.waitingforlunchtime.co.uk and have a play. Hope you enjoy it!

Is it possible to save and come back later?


Or even have a mini-game where a random section of the Tube map is
displayed and the player must just name those stations. It would make
the coding much harder I'm sure, but I have goldfish-esque attention
span and... and... what was I talking about again? ;-)


I take it all back. I didn't realise you'd set it to save coutesy of
browser cookies. I don't think I'd manage to plough through it all in a
single sitting, but now I realise I don't have to, which is great as
that suits me perfectly.

One bug issue - in IE6 the 'current score' box at the bottom doesn't
display - I can see the top of the box if I change it to fullscreen
mode but I still can't see the actual score. Though the bug is probably
with IE6 as opposed to your coding! But a lot of people who'll be
waitingforlunchtime won't have the choice of another browser.

Very glad to see that there's a good level of tolerance for how various
stations are entered, as there's nothing more annoying than getting
something right but being told it's wrong for some nitpicking reason.

A great game, max kudos to you. How do you fancy doing it for the
London Connections map! ;-)
