Busy creating the next major version of #BlankMapQuiz - requests please!

And yes - it's surprisingly complex to determine what's a country. Eg Réunion is officially a department of France, but it looked weird in the app to tap an island in the middle of the ocean and be told it's a European country.
Yes, and Réunion also has its own international dialing code, so nobody can agree. The current maps don't show South Sudan as a separate country, by the way...

Did you consider alternative map-colouring schemes? Obviously you would only need four colours, though it's not trivial... but I think a simple recursive algorithm with backtracking operating on a graph of adjacent countries would work, and would be quite fun to implement!
-
Or you could probably give it five colours, and you wouldn't need the backtracking, I suspect. ;)

Hmm Blank Map Quiz's map shows South Sudan separately, and Google does too. What does "the current maps" refer to?
-
Now I think I just made a mistake! I was asked to find Sudan, which I did (correctly!) and I thought to myself "that looks like the old, unified Sudan", and I suspect I just never knew what Sudan looked like... Sorry!
