show my trail?

The summary at the end of a game shows the flags of the guessed countries, sorted by closeness to the answer. I'd like to see my discovery path.

The 'you won' state also shows the globe, with the clicked countries colored in, but again no indication of guessing order.

Suggestions:

• starting with the first guessed country, draw a path from one guess to the next; probably from each country's center-of-mass or something like that. (Not closest points, or at least, not for country-pairs which actually touch each other; I suppose in that case a line through the border, extending partway into each country, could work.) Either way there are some mildly tricky issues about concave countries and stuff like that -- the center-of-mass of Vietnam looks like it's somewhere in Laos, for instance... needs a 'reasonable pivot point' algorithm something like: center of mass in the longest direction, crossed by center of physical breadth on the perpendicular axis through that center of mass... by this algorithm (by eyeball and best guess), the 'center' of Vietnam is approximately Hang Cha Loi

• allow the end-game summary to be sorted by closeness or by guess order (live toggle on the page)

• slightly orthogonal, but, during play the cursor will identify already-guessed countries by name, but not untouched countries. This is sensible. After the game has ended, could you (1) draw in boundaries of all countries and (2) make all countries self-ID on hover? Or just (2) + 'glow' countries as you hover them (so you can ephemerally see the borders of individual countries which weren't on the guess list)

This is actually a really cool idea, and definitely possible, but not something I have the capacity to tackle right now. Let's leave this issue open in case anyone wants to take a crack at it with a PR. Otherwise, I'll consider implementing it in the future. Thanks for taking an interest in improving the game!
