This is a small memory game that generates memory cards from random deviantART users galleries. Type in a deviant’s name, and play the game. When you play from the same person’s set, the order of the cards changes. There must be at least 10 deviations in the given gallery to play.

It was a fun experience. The game itself is a basic memory card game. You select cards and if its a pair they disappear.

The unique part of it is the fact it create cards from deviantART user’s galleries. When you go there it gives you a random deviant, but you can type in anyone’s name and play his/her gallery.

This was the concept. As I build it I had new ideas like counting misses, counting most played deviants, adding list of used images and make link to the played deviant’s page, so they got a little advertising by this.

The game itself is a mixture of HTML5 / jQuery and PHP. The randomized cards, RSS API calls comes from PHP, the game mechanics (flipping cards and stuff) and dA oEmbed API calls are pure jQuery. Its code isn’t my best, I really just had fun writing it. Maybe I’ll improve it in the future.
