in other words - it would be a blast to be able to make games that take place in the "real world" - building on what's already in Explorer but adding goals like a scavenger hunt for example, so a person could either pick an existing ride or create a new/random ride and be dropped into the Explorer world and the game would be generated around them...
Way beyond my skills at this point but just thinking of possibilities.
We're keen ourselves on doing this very thing. I don't think we can open source development of Explorer, but it would be great to get the help!
We've started with the trainer, and are adding points of interest you can ride to in the current sprint. We also want to codify the UFO Hunt we had into a repeatable scavenger hunt, with results that are automatically updated on vzfit.com/events and awarded with badges on vzfit.com/stats.
Note that gameplay requiring items with actual locations needs to be in City Mode, because of the way we have to fixup lat/lon to show dots and transitions properly in Country and Comfort Modes.
We'd love other ideas for game modes you could just turn on in Explorer.
