Here’s a Fun, Silly Game

How well can you sketch?

Silly but fun…

Quick, draw! is a game created by Google. You get a blank screen, and draw with your cursor/finger (or Apple pen, I guess, if that’s not too easy…?)

The game gives you a prompt, and up to twenty seconds.

After that, it’s like the board game Pictionary, except that the neural network tries to guess what you drew, rather than another player doing so. If it guesses right, you move onto the next one (out of six) prompts. You fail if it doesn’t guess it in the allotted 20 seconds.

Quick, Draw!

How did you get on?

You can see my attempts above. Despite my drawings being utter garbage (with a mouse and in just ten seconds or so, in my defence), the only one it didn’t get was the first one, at which point I was still getting the hang of the game.

But I struggled on my second go — or the AI did? I thought that my image of a bird was pretty decent, overall…

It had no clue, lol…
