Our task was to attach a description to every image on the web
Our task was to attach adescriptive paragraph to every image on the web
The game is an internet race between multiple players all
aiming to find the same randomly chosen image.
They are the “seekers”
The only information they have about this image comes from a
written description that is given to them
One of the players is the “describer”. He is the only one
who gets to see the image.
He will provide us with thedescription we are looking for
Gain Points
The seeker that finds the image first wins 100
pints
The describer wins 200 points if
someone finds his image
Lose Points
The seeker loses 10 points for each
wrong guess
The describer loses 5 points for every image he
passes
This FUN GAME will hopefully provide us with descriptions of all
images on the web
Thus contributing to theaccessibility of the web
