I went looking for it but couldn't find it anywhere! I was very surprised, so ended up making it myself. Had to make a few of the images myself as well because the ones on Wikimedia were rather bad / didn't exist.
Hello Stewart. Flag-maps of every country and territory are on Wikimedia Commons here. I hope this helps! Also, could I do a similar quiz: Every Territory Flag-Shape of the World?
Because their islands are really small and many are atolls, so they're more like rings than filled in circles. For example look at satellite imagery of Tuvalu and you'll see blue in the middle of the islands
the shape you're using for Mauritius only has the one island, where other Jetpunk Country Shape quizzes include several so it looks more like e.g. Seychelles - might want to change that for consistency. otherwise, amazing quiz!
To be honest, I had no idea you were even still using JetPunk. I only made this so it would be easier to find the country pictures for my "Head to head" multiple choice quizzes, since I could just "search inside collections" and any country name would show the appropriate flag shape.
Sorry if you wanted to make it, it didn't appear from your existing series that you would want to since you only ever did individual ones and Europe a long time ago. If I realised you were using JetPunk still I would've asked, but I didn't realise, so I'm sorry for that.
If you really want I can move it to your account, although I then would lose the ability to use it for my other series since "search inside collections" only works for your own quizzes and features. So it would mean the sole reason I made this would be gone...
I was surprised it wasn't made in the first place, given your series is quite old.
I work a lot lately so I do not have enough time to make quizzes. Just a few in a month maybe. But I am still active every day. I do not want to whine about this quiz, but yes it was my idea to complete series with it. I do not own copyright for this. So do whatever your conscience tells you to do. Cheers.
My conscience tells me I made this quiz with good intentions, even if the result ended up sour given your intentions. I don't plan on furthering this so will leave the other continents up to you.
As a show of good faith, I will link your entire series in my caveats so it's clear to everyone that more exists.
Sorry again that this happened, it won't happen again (at least from me).
Fine by me, they're not "my" flag shapes, they're (mostly) from Wikimedia apart from a couple I had made myself because I couldn't find them on wikimedia.
Btw, how did you make some of the images yourself? I want to make some flag maps for first-level subdivisions since the ones I need don't exist on Wikimedia
I took the country shape from JetPunk's country shape quiz, I then converted this to a path in Inkscape (using trace bitmap). Then got the svg flag off of wikimedia, then copy and pasted in place the shape many times and intersected each copy with individual paths of the flag to get only the parts which were part of the shape.
After this I exported as png and uploaded direct to JetPunk (since I have the power to), although you could use wikimedia for that
I've tried using Inkscape for myflagshapes, but I find it to be time-consuming and difficult. Sure, they come out a little better, but I think it's just not worth it.
Weird that Crimea doesn't exist on either Ukraine OR Russia. Would've thought it would be on at least one of them. Not a big deal, just noticed it thought.
Great Quiz! Oceania was the hardest because the flags looked distorted although it’s just because they are islands after all, so it is going to look fuzzy anyways. I also had some trouble with the African Islands although I figured it out eventually. 100% finished.
Those pacific islands are evil. Only way I got them was by guessing every country in Oceania on every map that was blank. Still got 196/196 though, worth the amount of time it took.
Mauritius is wrong. Your shape is solely the island of Mauritius but the flag refers to the country, the Republic of Mauritius, which comprises at least 4 islands/groups of islands. The other shape quizzes show these other islands, yours is the only one that does not.
Because the Vatican is a single piece of land, whereas the oceanic islands are often large stretches of small islands, so take up more space because they're spread out.
Maybe the outlines of the white sections of the countries would help distinguish them from the white backgrounds so that even Japan and Italy are barely recognizable or put them in a slightly shaded surrounded template.
It just does not work with scattered dots and no colors or pattern to recognize for the islands that stretch across a distance with no sizable land mass shapes to recognize and no flag pattern visible.
A shape surround to put the island shapes on that has a hologram image of as much of the flag that will fit and will still be recognizable. Kind of like Jet Punk does on the world or section maps to indicate an otherwise indistinguishable mass of dots or irregular shapes.
Even on Italy and Japan white large white section of their flags that make that section of the country blend into the white background.. But, still a very cool quiz that really helps you link the flag to the country. Thank you
Feel free to make a territories one.
