Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

It's possible, for sure. The flip side is that it might be dispiriting to those who have put the time in to build up what they have.

I'm less interested in competing against other Fetchies (unless in teams) and more interested in taking on the environment. I'd like there to be goals that can be worked towards, either global or individual (or both), to unlock things, confront threats, etc.

For example - collect 2000 dynamite (total) and improve your skill level in attacking castles

Or, everyone in the game collect 1,000,000 bread to stave off the attack of the Galactic Goose who is coming down to honk and hiss. Could also wreck a few castles. Geese are like that.

I've added a column to the leaderboard to show the amount of fog that each user has cleared. There's a strong but not perfect correlation between fog clearing and points scoring.

The average scoring ratio is 0.68 points per square of fog cleared. But there are examples of people doing much better than that e.g. @PitterPatter has 1728 points off 598 exposed squares, making 2.89 points per clear.

Well, I'm off into the fog shortly, but on foot so unlikely to match bike distance.

I note someone else has noted the lagginess of the map - it only seems to load what's displayed on screen, so moving around means it looks for the map info and icon info again. It can be quite tiresome even with only a small fog-free area. And my phone is no slouch, it's a Samsung S23 Ultra (so not cutting edge - but not a brick :) )

I think this is a result of a strong castle on my walk home from work…

You mean we need to clear the black squares? Is that the fog?

With a clearing of say 500 squares, that still leaves (201^2 - 500) = 39,901 squares of fog to be rendered - which I guess is putting some phones under duress. Anecdotally, it seems to be more of an issue with Android phones.

I can look at whether there are ways to render more efficiently e.g. instead of drawing 39,901 polygons, I could draw contiguous blocks of fog as one polygon. The complexity of this increases because there would need to be multiple polygons, like on my current map:
