MobGuessr — simple Minecraft mob guessing game

MobGuessr is a lightweight browser game that shows Minecraft mob images and asks the player to guess which mob it is. Images are sourced from the Minecraft Fandom (Gamepedia) Category:Mob_images pages so the sprites/renders are accurate.

Features

• Uses canonical mob images from Minecraft Fandom .
• Responsive, touch-friendly UI for mobile devices.
• Color-blindness palettes (Normal / Protanopia / Deuteranopia / Tritanopia) with persistence.
• Accessibility improvements: descriptive alt text, captions, focus outlines, and ARIA live regions.
• Confetti celebration on correct answers.

Quick start

1. Open the game in a browser by opening folder/index.html or serve the repo and visit the page:

# from repo root
python3 -m http.server 8000
# then open http://localhost:8000/folder/index.html

Project layout

• folder/index.html — game UI
• folder/styles.css — styles, responsive rules, and color-blindness variables
• folder/script.js — game logic, image mapping, settings persistence

How it works

• folder/script.js fetches a mob list from the Astroworld API and maps mob ids to fandom image URLs defined in the fandomImageMap.
• Only mobs with a known fandom image are shown; duplicates (same image used by multiple ids) are filtered out.
• The settings screen exposes a color-mode selector which persists to localStorage and applies CSS variable overrides.

Development notes

• Editing images/mappings: update fandomImageMap in folder/script.js to add more mob ids and fandom image URLs.
• Accessibility: image alt and caption update per question; #currentPoints uses aria-live="polite".
• Styling: folder/styles.css uses CSS variables and .cb-* classes for color modes.

Testing on mobile

• The UI is responsive; use your browser's device emulation or open the served page on a phone on the same network.

Next improvements

• Add a small placeholder sprite for missing images.
• Log missing mob ids automatically and provide a tooling page to map them to fandom files.
• Add keyboard shortcuts for answers and improved screen-reader announcements of correct/incorrect answers.
