Update Sep30: I modified the CSS and now mousing over a country on the results page should always show the correct name. Problems with Firefox should also be fixed.
As this is more of a proof-of-concept quiz, there are some errors: for example, some countries do not appear when near the edge of the projection, and mousing over a country on the results page will, most of the times, not give the correct answer. These are known problems that came up during the testing phase, but I can't do much to fix them. The "Show missing countries" feature is also incompatible with this quiz, unfortunately.
As usual, any feedback is appreciated, be it "it's spinning too fast!" or "it's spinning too slow!" or "I don't like the type of projection". Cheers!
In any case, the animation not working properly before the start is, I think, due to Firefox not displaying CSS transitions when they take up less than half the page. I found very little literature on this on the internet, but if you keep moving the mouse you can see the animation working fine.
So, to reiterate: the animation works (at least for me) on Firefox, but you have to actually start the quiz (or keep moving the mouse, haha!)
Ideas - Make a superfast version with more frames.
