fastr – a flickr game,a 学单词的 game
这是一个通过使用 flickr 的图片来玩的游戏,.每局会依次出现十个图片,你来猜该组图片的主题(tag).当你猜对时候,这个tag就会变蓝.猜的的越快,得分越高.网页右边有实时计分,每五分钟分数会重置.
我发现用他学单词倒不错,是个检测词汇量的好东西.我玩的时候总是明明知道tag是什么,但就是忘了这个单词怎么写了.你要是对自己的单词很有信心,推荐试试.
BTW,里面都是很日常的单词,千万别往偏的地方想.

Pandora-无尽的音乐盒子
Google一下Pandora,第一个结果就是他.一个基于Flash的音乐网站,Find Music You’ll love是其口号.第一次访问确实给我惊艳的感觉,原来一个音乐网站还能这样做! 你只需输入你喜欢的歌手或是歌名,让他替你寻找类似风格的音乐.比如你你输入Oasis,他会返回Coldplay,Radiohead等等的英国摇滚乐队,或者你输入American idiot,他会给你Green Day的其他歌曲.收听过程中还可以为各个歌曲做出评价,喜欢还是不喜欢,让结果更接近个人的口味.据其网站的FAQ介绍,他们拥有一个300,000首歌的庞大数据库(都是欧美歌曲),因此不必担心出现重复.
a Penguin for you
从帝企鹅日记到马达加斯加,再到一系列的打企鹅游戏,人们对企鹅的喜爱与日剧增,这又是一个关于企鹅的flash游戏,输入一段话,小企鹅会以曼妙的身姿和肚皮为你在雪地上写出来,动感十足~~
btw,这是个外国企鹅,不认识中文.输入汉语后果自负 …
一个很有意思的涂鸦网站
可以选择颜色,画笔, 画框,轻松满足你的后现代创作欲望,还能挂在画廊里与大师比肩,试试吧,也许会发现自己很有绘画才能
