Cool concept! It would be nice if after the game was complete the tiles linked to the wikipedia entry for each event so the player could learn more.

rateofclimb··on Fermat's Last Theorem – how it’s going
As a CS undergrad at Berkeley in the 90's I took an upper division math class in which we worked through the "old school" proof which was brand new and exciting then. Pretty much everyone else in the class was a math grad student. I don't think I understood more than 20% of the material! :)

Yes I'm sorry, Area Forecast Discussions are a product of NOAA/National Weather Service in the United States and its territories. They do cover a lot of ground from Guam to Puerto Rico, the continental US and Alaska, but not Europe.

Great to see some love for Forecast Discussions! As a pilot, and overall outdoor enthusiast I've relied on Forecast Discussions for many years. If I may be so bold, my app Deep Weather for iOS is designed to be the most convenient and easy-to-read source for Forecast Discussions. It's free (with some more advanced/optional features requiring a subscription): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/deep-weather/id528748182
