Never On Tuesday

Explore the concept, hints, and starter code for this Nic Cage inspired build.

Title: Mirage Route Tracker

Description:

Channel the stranded travelers of Never on Tuesday by logging your current coordinates and accuracy readouts whenever the crew thinks they see salvation on the horizon.

Features:

  • Request precise coordinates with the Geolocation API.
  • Log accuracy to judge whether the mirage is real.
  • Give travelers instant feedback on each pin drop.

Starting Code:

Beginner Hints:

  • Create a single index.html file.
  • Copy the full HTML code block into that file.
  • Open index.html in your browser. If something doesn’t work, try a local server like python -m http.server.
  • Open DevTools Console to spot errors and typos quickly.
