Dreamstime.com / Help required testing a new Image Keywords Game
« on: September 16, 2019, 17:58 »
Hi all,
I'm a Dreamstime contributor and have recently been teaching myself php coding. I thought I'd reach out to see if anyone might like to help me test a new stock based website I've been working on in my spare time.
Alongside a traditional image search, I have developed a 'Stock Image Keywords Game' to try out my new skills.
http://five-thumbs.com
I wanted it to be a fun way for contributors to help fellow artists with keyword suggestions. Especially those for which English may not be their first language.
It's a little rough around the edges (I'm still getting to grips with CSS) but I think the basic coding works. It just needs a good old-fashioned testing.
Basically, contributors can sign up for free and add five of their Dreamstime image ids to the database along with just five keywords. These become searchable to buyers who can then link to Dreamstime to make a purchase.
When someone plays the game itself, an image is selected at random and they have to guess which keywords were used. If they get one right first time they get one of their own images featured on the home page. If they go on to get them all right, they get all their images featured.
The suggested keywords are sent to the image creator to give them an idea of what others believe their keywords should be.
I hope it will be a fun and useful resource and look forward to your comments and ideas. But please remember, I'm new to this coding lark so please bear that in mind! Thanks.
