Zip clone

This project recreates zip

Designer

When runnning locally, a designer mode is avalible so that I can design/recreate game boards and then save them into the puzzle list

Todos

• Screenshot-to-puzzle parser — Python script using OpenCV + pytesseract that takes a screenshot of a completed LinkedIn Zip game and outputs a Puzzle object. Approach: detect grid bounding box → warp to square → divide into cells → OCR digits for waypoints → sample gap strips between adjacent cells for walls.

• Make a leaderboard

• Get all Zips into the puzzle list. All the zips since Febuary are stored here:

  • (this list is incomplete, I think they only expose the last N most recent puzzles?) https://daily-logic-puzzles.vercel.app/linkedin-games/zip-fe-today
  • (much better, fuller history) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLE2dY85AtnfQA-RHK7qynggMLKDMHHJ3
