Fun! I got a score of 650. It got hard once there were five languages to choose from, and I had studied none of them.

adamnemecek2• 13 years ago

Or have ever heard of some of them. I got actually the exact same score.

lars51224• 13 years ago

Hi guys, I'm the author. Here's a related blog post I did introducing the game:

http://quietlyamused.org/blog/2013/09/01/introducing-the-gre...

Feedback's much appreciated, and if you encounter any bugs, please report them via email to lars+glg@yencken.org

If there's a language you'd like to see that's missing, consider helping out by finding some good quality language samples or news podcasts in that language and emailing me.

Enjoy!

gamegoblin2• 13 years ago

I encountered a whole lot of lag. Some buttons took 5+ seconds to respond.

lars51224• 13 years ago

Yeah, sorry about that. I'd planned a little more infrastructure work before submitting it to HN. Wish me luck :)

kbaker• 13 years ago

Cool game, and nicely presented! I got a 250, then 400.

It might be good to ask the user where they are from (non-intrusively of course, maybe a simple country selector or IP lookup) to get another dimension on the statistics. Or what languages they already know as well might be interesting when looking at the results.

lars51224• 13 years ago

I'm recording GeoIP country and the Accept-Languages header from their request. Hopefully this generates some interesting data to pore over later. Monthly data snapshots might be useful for researchers.

peeters• 13 years ago

A cool game worth a couple of plays. I found myself often making educated guesses based on the speaker's accent, not the language itself (i.e. I thought of where I'd think the person was from if the same speaker was speaking English).

A suggestion: I really don't like the design of having the next question be a new browser history entry. It took me about 20 back clicks to get back to HN to post this comment.

prawn3• 13 years ago

Might be cool to weight scores per round based on speed of selection. That will, however, favour even more those who get easy combos or languages. French, Thai, Arabic, Cantonese, Italian, etc are all very easy when compared with differentiation between Yugoslavian languages or guessing some that I either hadn't heard of (Kannada) or I'm much less familiar with (Scandinavian).

troels• 13 years ago

Yeah, the Kannada one tripped me up too. I figured it must've been some inuit language - Only afterwards did I realise it's an Indian language (No, the other kind of indians).

And good luck distinguishing between scandinavian languages if you're not native. I'm Danish and I sometimes confuse Swedish with Norwegian.

lars51224• 13 years ago

Yeah, weighting based on speed would be a cool idea. Thanks!

busterarm3• 13 years ago

I LOVE this. This is something I've been doing on my own for most of my life. I'd like to think I'm pretty good at picking out what languages people are speaking but Dinka is really hard. Distinguishing between some of the Balkan languages is harder than I remember.

It's be great if there were an iOS app of this. You'd easily get my $2. :)

lars51224• 13 years ago

Thanks for the support! I'll definitely have a think about it. I'd have to collect my own sound samples to make a commercial product, but it's an interesting option.

personlurking• 13 years ago

Cool game! Reminds me of Omniglot's language quizes http://www.omniglot.com/blog/?p=9100

700 here.

akamaka• 13 years ago

Great idea, and very fun!

I'd love to see a couple of adjustments:

First, the scores right now aren't very meaningful. The chance of winning each round is highly dependent on being lucky with the multiple choices (e.g. I'll always be able to guess Spanish vs. anything else, but my if options are two African languages, it's a coin toss). I think the distribution of scores over several games will end up being similar to playing a series of random coin tosses. My own scores varied greatly.

Second, it would be great to have more clips of each language, without having the same person speaking twice. The educational element of the game gets lost when you start overtraining on the same clip.

rmc2• 13 years ago

Exactly! I got Swedish vs. some Asian language once, correctly guessed swedish and then the next round was the same audio clip and some other languages. The game had told me that it was swedish already, so it was easy.

lars51224• 13 years ago

On the first point, the game's randomness is biased towards easier languages earlier, and harder languages later. But I didn't want to bring with me a preconceived notion of what languages people would find hard. If you were to track your maximum score, you'd probably find it trend upwards as you trained. So scores are still useful in that regard.

On the second point -- I completely agree. Validating the samples takes time, but I promise I'll add more as soon as I can.

Thanks for playing :)

stewbrew• 13 years ago

Great idea. It would be nice to see a chart with the distribution of scores though or at least the quartiles next to the high score.

mrich• 13 years ago

Great! One suggestion: Add a wikipedia link to the language that is displayed when the player gets it wrong, that way you can quickly read up on where it is spoken etc.

unhammer3• 13 years ago

Actually, after each try you could have a snippet about each language, e.g.

    Kannada
    Primarily spoken in: India
    # of speakers: 38 million
    Language family: Dravidian
    Writing sample: ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಲಿಪಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ಬರೆಯಿರಿ
    Is awesome because: Reduplication! You write the word 
    twice, replacing the start of the second one with 'gi-',
    to get "and related things". So if "books" is 
    'pustaka', "books and related things" is 
    'pustaka-gistaka'. Awesome.

You get the writing sample from ka.wikipedia.org, and the awesomeness from places like http://wals.info/ , http://www.ethnologue.com/ , http://omniglot.com/ (or just searching google scholar for the language name and clicking random articles, always fun)

morgante• 13 years ago

Definitely a very cool concept, but the code could be improved a bit. I'd ideally like to see something like this primarily to be run via Javascript. Then once you guess it'd just download a new audio clip + the correct answer... way less lag.

lars51224• 13 years ago

The site was quite degraded -- try it again now.

radikal_shit• 13 years ago

Hi, great game. A little suggestion. Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian languages are too similar to differentiate for non native speakers. Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbo-Croatian. Basically, the division is more political than linguistical.

rmc2• 13 years ago

A language is a dialect with an army.

DominikR• 13 years ago

Depending on region, it's even hard to differentiate for a native speaker. (I am a native Serbo-Croatian speaker)

Anyways - great game!

mutation3• 13 years ago

(Disclaimer: I am a native croatian speaker.) There's a significant difference between croatian and serbian language: croatian language is composed of three dialects and a standard language which are not found in serbian. It was a political movement to merge one of those dialects (shtokavian) with serbian language. So, serbian is somewhat similar to shtokavian but not to other dialects that compose the rest of the croatian language.

saraid2162• 13 years ago

I'm personally bothered that I haven't seen Mandarin, even though I've seen Cantonese a few times. :P

hsuresh• 13 years ago

Great game! Found a bug though. When the game is over, if you hit the browser back button, it will let you continue the game.

lars51224• 13 years ago

Thanks for reporting it, I'll take a look.

stordoff• 13 years ago

I hit next twice after guessing correctly, which triggered a Python KeyError.

Traceback: http://pastebin.com/iJ5wfaMe

lars51224• 13 years ago

Thanks for this -- I was (embarassingly) running in debug mode due to a bad code snippet in my runserver script. Your report helped me fix both the KeyError and the debug mode.

asolove• 13 years ago

One way to make the game harder is to remove clips that have obvious references to proper nouns tied to one country. Many of my correct answers came from hearing the name of a person or place associated with one of the languages.

lars51224• 13 years ago

I try to eliminate these cases. If you notice one, email me with the language it was and I'll fix it.

rootbear• 13 years ago

That was fun! I got 300. I only speak English fluently, although I've studied French and German. However, I am very interested in phonetics and have read up on the sound systems of lots of languages and that helped a lot. Thanks, I plan to play it again.

malkia3• 13 years ago

Thank you! I think I was lucky, being bulgarian and knowing how most of slavanian languages sound like. Also I can very easily distinguish between non-slavanian west-european ones (french, german, italian, spanish, portuguese).

My only advice is to avoid having the same language, or at least same wave file being played twice in a row (It happened few times with me, and I've played it for 5 times in a row).

Also maybe introduce something like in the TV shows, where you can get use "jokers" (hints) such as - remove half of the languages that are not (when there are more than 4 or 5 I guess), etc.

Or maybe let the player risk, by asking for more languages even on lower levels, but for more points.

It's entertaining :) I was actually thinking if you are in the car, and listening to this as a game how would one be able to answer (google glass with eye tracking?), or maybe that's just bad idea for driving.

clueless1233• 13 years ago

Where can we see the list of all the languages available? Is Quechua available? (Peruvian/Bolivian and the incas native language )

lars51224• 13 years ago

I'll have to make a page showing the available languages.

Are you a Quechua speaker? I'd love to add it.

alagappanr• 13 years ago

You are directly sending a POST request to the {domain}/play/ URL I presume. I gave the URL to my friend and it gave him a 405 Method Not Allowed error.

lars51224• 13 years ago

Yeah, I can see how that would be annoying. I'll redirect GET requests to /play/ back to the homepage. Thanks for the heads up!

gamegoblin2• 13 years ago

One can do surprisingly well by knowing the geographic region a language is spoken, and imagining the accent of people from there, then matching it to the accent of the person speaking.

prawn3• 13 years ago

If you cop Assyrian vs Turkish first up, you might be flipping a coin quite early. I had two situations like that which chewed lives from the start! The other was Macedonian vs Serbian!

jdjb• 13 years ago

I clicked the link thinking it would be code examples and I had to guess the programming language...

royalghost• 13 years ago

Exactly, thats what I thought too!

jmhain• 13 years ago

Maybe it's just a weird coincidence but I've gotten Hebrew about half the time.

aroman• 13 years ago

It must be; Hebrew is my second language and I was really hoping it'd pop up so I could boost my score, but sadly it never came :)

Twisol• 13 years ago

Nice! I noticed that I tended to identify the languages by their "fingerprint", certain phonemes and accents that characterize the language. It's probably not surprising that all three languages I missed were African languages. I've heard plenty of European and Asian languages, but rarely have I heard an African language.

nemothekid• 13 years ago

Same here, scored about 750 just by simplifying knowing kurdish was persian, so to listen for "indian" sounds, or Slovenia by listening for "eastern europe"

The only languages I can actually speak are English, and a little French.

busterarm3• 13 years ago

I've been playing this game on my own now for decades...just trying to guess what language people are speaking eavesdropping on conversations and listening to radio.

I'm easily able to break 1000 points but some of those African languages (Dinka) are really hard!

I'm so thankful for this site. It's really really cool!

VLM• 13 years ago

"listening to radio."

For me specifically, shortwave radio. I still have a R-75 hooked up although I don't often use it anymore. I used to have a R-390 and its "mobile" cousin the R-392.

I've found the audio quality has little or nothing to do with the appeal of listening to foreign lands, so listening over the internet has had little if any change in that hobby vs using a radio. Although I do get most of my non-tech news from the BBC now, so I do appreciate the podcast feeds, something you could never do with radio.

I think most HN readers would appreciate BBC Radio 4's "In our time" program. Not every episode, especially not the more science/tech oriented, but most episodes are entertaining / mind expanding. I get it as a podcast via a RSS feed.

I would think all the startup opportunities relating to podcasting are long since used up? There seems to be a way to monetize anything people spend time/money/effort on, and at least some people do that with podcasts, so logically there must be a way to make money off them...

albeec13• 13 years ago

I was up to 500 before missing two in a row, but then I encountered a bug where the audio track seemed to not download properly, so hitting play caused the progress bar to jump straight to the end without playing anything. Pretty cool idea overall though.

ghayes• 13 years ago

I got 550 on my first try. It's kind of fun, kind of impossible. Serbian versus Croatian versus Slavic is just a shot in the dark.

adamnemecek2• 13 years ago

Do you mean Slovenian?

hepek• 13 years ago

Well, distinguishing standard Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian is impossible even for native speakers, as it is in fact one language. The division being merely a political one. One can only distinguish accent subtletlies in certain words.

It would improve fairness of the game and avoid a lot of confusion not to allow these languages appear in the answers together.

patmcguire• 13 years ago

I got a 650. Surprising how easy it was to pick out what was Indo-European or Semitic, everything else was hard. Only got Indonesian because of The Act of Killing.

emhs• 13 years ago

700. Missed Tagalog, Slovenian, and Amharic. Also, dude, you could do with another Lao clip, or a better clip-selection algo, 'cause I heard the Lao clip twice. Would've been good if it had been a different clip, but giving me the same clip is just a gimme. Great game, though.

jay_m• 13 years ago

I had the same thing happen with Hebrew, 3 free wins with the same clip.

hayksaakian• 13 years ago

This is really fun, except now that i'm getting server errors (probably due to HN traffic) I can't play...

nowarninglabel• 13 years ago

It's amazing how distinguishable accents are. I wonder how much voice recognition software keys off of accent? I've a few South/Eastern Asia friends that never do well with spoken GPS recognition, but if it could know their native tongue was Gujarati or Thai then I imagine it could do a much better job of analyzing their English. I was pleasantly surprised to make it to 800.

jsmeaton• 13 years ago

I work in the call centre space which deals with voice recognition IVRS. If there is no voice pack available for your specific country, a number of 'utterances' are collected to train the recogniser. So, yes, accents are used in the voice recognition software that I'm familiar with.

Pitarou• 13 years ago

800? Wow.

I speak French and Japanese, and I've spent a lot of time with Poles, but I still only got 500.

acanzy1818• 13 years ago

staunch• 13 years ago

I think it'd be more fun (and less difficult) to guess the accents of people speaking English.

tlb• 13 years ago

Great. I'd also like a tutorial, which plays two languages with superficial similarities and points out the differences.

chrismorgan2• 13 years ago

I found it rather fun pressing the "next" button and then switching away from it and just listening and forming an opinion thus before looking at the options. Region of language was often pretty accurate thus if I wasn't able to guess the precise language.

dbz• 13 years ago

I'd love to see some stats on how others have done. Also, it would be nice if you didn't have to press back fifty times (or long click select) to go back to the last site you were on.

chrismorgan2• 13 years ago

One of the languages is labelled "Bangla", the transliterated form of the native spelling বাংলা. Given that you've used the English names of most languages there (I can't speak for all of them), I'd prefer the consistency of "Bengali" there.

lars51224• 13 years ago

Thanks for the feedback. Many of the languages have multiple aliases, I can't say I've made a principled choice in every case. But, updating to "Bengali" is in the todo list.

moron4hire• 13 years ago

I built a similar thing, with a physical representation, covering US accents: http://moron4hire.tumblr.com/post/60153233552/a-thing-i-buil...

for this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Labov

it ended up in this place: http://www2.fi.edu/

malkia3• 13 years ago

I was up to 800 points, and I got server error... (edit). Retried again, and since that was my last life, I've got it wrong. I was lucky though, as I got two times Bulgarian, and I'm from Bulgaria :)

Played second time, 650, and third time 950.

I've got lucky again, since Dutch was twice in a row, and few other languages.

It's cool, reminds a bit of Google's find this place on earth, by "driving" around until you see a sign, or some very known place.

azernik• 13 years ago

Just got a 502 error, but really like the custom 502 page.

jpatokal2• 13 years ago

850. It would be a bit nicer if the randomly selected other language choices came from different language families: one of the three I got wrong was Bosnian vs Croatian, even though the difference is arguably a political construct (just don't say that to a Bosnian or Croat...).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_standard_Bosnian...

The difference between Punjabi and Hindi is also pretty subtle. Mistaking Thai for Vietnamese, though, was inexcusable. =(

jpatokal2• 13 years ago

2nd attempt 1050. Had precisely the same sound sample twice in a row though?

Also, this serves as a pretty handy hint that when you're completely stumped by something you've never, ever heard before, the answer is probably "Dinka": http://greatlanguagegame.com/stats/

joeyo• 13 years ago

Indeed. The Dinka sample is recorded off the radio or phone and is very difficult to hear as well (It's not like I really know what Dinka sounds like, but if it were easier to hear I could at least do a better job of eliminating the other options).

jessaustin3• 13 years ago

Bosnian was certainly the tricky one for me: is it really the same clip every time? The first time I missed it, I thought I heard "bagus" so I guessed Malay. The second time I missed it I guess I really have no excuse! Still I got 600, and I don't feel bad for not being able to distinguish Gujarati from Punjabi from Urdu. It's been some time since I heard any of those languages spoken.

pdknsk• 13 years ago

In the sound clip for Ukraine, the person actually says Ukraine (or very similar) a few times. Also, the snippets should be normalised. Some are very quiet.

lars51224• 13 years ago

Volume's been normalised using mp3gain. I manually screen all the snippets for English, music or other noise, and obvious giveaways. Looks like a Ukraine case slipped through -- it's in my todo list to remove. Thanks!

ziedaniel1• 13 years ago

The Portuguese one also had a word sounding like "portuguese" in it that made it trivial for me.

FreeFull• 13 years ago

The Slovak sample is very obvious, since it says Slovak at one point.

blahedo• 13 years ago

Got to 500 and had to guess (definitely Slavic, but had a choice between Czech, Slovak, Macedonian... yikes!)...

and got a 522 Timed Out error. Thhbbbbt.

lars51224• 13 years ago

Awww, that sucks. I hope you refreshed and reposted your guess.

bluesmoon• 13 years ago

same here. 522 error. reposting has no effect. still 522s or Method Not Allowed errors.

jameswyse• 13 years ago

Nice, though I gotta admit I was disappointed it wasn't programming languages!

rdtsc2• 13 years ago

Ha! I expected computer languages. I might have a problem...

But that would be a cool game too for programmers. Here is a snippet of code, what language it is in?

patrickg• 13 years ago

http://wtpl.heroku.com/

rdtsc2• 13 years ago

Fantastic, I love it!

Dewie• 13 years ago

Got through 8 questions and then 522 Connection Timed Out...

bilalq• 13 years ago

Hey, this is really cool. Awesome work!

One tricky thing I noticed was that there was one audio clip that was in Urdu, but it was discussing something written in Arabic. Indeed, the clip had more Arabic than Urdu. Fortunately, Arabic wasn't an option, so I got it right.

That's the kind of edge case that might appear in other clips as well, and might be something to watch out for.

edu• 13 years ago

to slow to be fun :(

neil_s• 13 years ago

Biggest bug for me is that if you click on one of the two languages, it still waits till the entire clip finishes playing before progressing to tell me 'right' or 'wrong'.

UPDATE: never mind, its not when the audio finishes playing, its just slow to load.

andrelaszlo• 13 years ago

The Slovakian clip actually has the word "slovak" in it... I think :)

yread• 13 years ago

The Bulgarian one has something with Portugal :)

malkia3• 13 years ago

I'm Bulgarian, and was wondering how others perceive our language. But I can always understand when someone speaks portuguese, although I know very little of it (I've worked with couple of cool people from Brazil).

doktrin• 13 years ago

As does the Ukrainian voice sample.

NKCSS• 13 years ago

Cool, but the site is very slow.

beyondcompute• 13 years ago

I thought it would be about programming languages :) But it's awesome nevertheless!

pascalo• 13 years ago

Great game. Had 900 pts and then got cloud flare errors :(. Only thing you need to work on is to exclude repetition of clips when the game progresses.

artgon• 13 years ago

800! w00t

gpvos• 13 years ago

There were several times when a fragment of which I had already guessed the language correctly came up again two or three rounds later, which made it a lot easier. I think it would be better to keep track of that, and have more fragments per language, and round-robin between those. Maybe I just got lucky, but I think 1200 for the first play is a good score. :)

jvanstry2• 13 years ago

404

jvanstry2• 13 years ago

Well I got a 404 Error.... but it was fun until then!

tuzemec• 13 years ago

950 and I went twice against my initial hunch and lost :-)

riffraff• 13 years ago

first: this is fun! second: maybe you can use rel=prefetch to speed up loading?

etfb2• 13 years ago

It's interesting how quickly that went from "duh, dead easy" to "no frakking idea". I don't even now what Amharic is, let alone how it sounds...

pawelwentpawel• 13 years ago

I really like it. It would be cool if the score would be based on how quickly you answer too. Also, I would be very interesting to find correlation between how many/what languages user speak as native/learned to how many languages they can recognize. For example, it's funny how knowing just one Slavic language helps you not only to recognize any other ones (or in some easier cases understand a lot) but also spot the small differences in accents or vocabulary.

tehwalrus• 13 years ago

EDIT: first, great game. I'll be coming back to see if I can improve my score! :)

Meh, only scored 350, although in my defense I am quite deaf at the moment (temporarily).

I was also lucky as I got Mandarin twice (which I've studied) and German once (same.)

Two of my three errors were picking the wrong one of the two plausibles once the number to choose was 3 or 4.

With higher quality audio (and functioning ears) I think I could have got higher (so I could hear more of the sounds being used.)

mahrz• 13 years ago

Got to 1200, but am still surprised how easily Portoguese can be mistaken for a slavonic language. And the Bosnian/Croatian samples are really not that easy to distinguish. It would really be cool if the scores somehow reflected this, maybe depending on your native language... not sure what a good scoring system would be here.

jadyoyster• 13 years ago

1150 on my second try (thanks ridiculously multicultural upbringing), great game!

I got a few immediate repeats of the same language; maybe preventing those would be a good idea?

lars51224• 13 years ago

That's a solid effort!

Pruning immediate repeats is in the todo list, thanks for the recommendation.

thinkersilver• 13 years ago

I don't if this was the lag because the system was underload but I had to wait for the recording to finish before I could go to the next question. Would you be able to make it go to the next question once I have answered instead of having to listen to the entire clip.

professorwimpy• 13 years ago

That was a treat! Thanks for making it! :)

icecreampain2• 13 years ago

1400 but that's only because I'm interested in languages. I speak English, Swedish, German, Romanian, can read the other roman languages ( French/Italian/Portuguese/Spanish) can read and write Farsi. I have no problem differentiating between Cantonese, Japanese, Mandarin and Korean.

The quiz is most difficult when presenting me with choices between slavic combinations (Ukranian/Polish/Russian) and far east weirdness: Tamil / Burmese / Malay.

netvarun• 13 years ago

Could you elaborate a bit on the part where you mentioned "far east weirdness: Tamil / Burmese / Malay".

What's so weird about those languages? All three languages you mentioned are linguistically very different and have long histories (particularly Tamil).

I wouldn't call them far east either. These languages are predominantly spoken in South and South-east Asia.

(I am from Singapore where Tamil and Malay are official languages)

icecreampain2• 13 years ago

They're "weird" because I have little experience with them, having barely ever heard malay until this quiz. I correctly guessed it because I heard the word "muslim" or "islam" in the clip.

And they ARE far east, if you're European. :)

koliber• 13 years ago

I think that Czech and Slovak languages are incredibly similar to each other. often times, when reading the instructions on some product in both languages, they differ by one word here and there. I would be willing to guess that no speaker of these languages would be able to differentiate one from the other.

A cool variant on this game could be "guess where this English accent is from."

unhammer3• 13 years ago

If anyone wants to do it with Norwegian dialects, there's an awesome set of audio samples of the same text here: http://www.ling.hf.ntnu.no/nos/nos_kart.html

("I would be willing to guess that no speaker of these languages would be able to differentiate one from the other" – I highly doubt that. Dialects/languages differ more and more the closer they are to your own; I can tell if someone grew up a 15 minute drive away from me, but if the choice is between a place that is e.g. >3 hrs north vs >4hrs north I have a really hard time placing them.)

oblio• 13 years ago

Can you provide more stats? I'm curious for the full list of language stats - which ones are easy to guess, which ones are hard to guess.

pbhjpbhj2• 13 years ago

Can someone verify the Turkish sample (http://media.greatlanguagegame.com/samples/752c4c30d475748a3...)?

I've only been there on holidays but it doesn't sound right to me, perhaps it's just the low quality of the sample but the phonemes seem far more 'Eastern' to me.

i-blis• 13 years ago

Definitively Turkish. And pretty standard dialect.

pbhjpbhj2• 13 years ago

Cool, thanks.

skion• 13 years ago

It'd be great if the multiple choices appeared a few seconds late, giving some time to let your senses guide you.

ksrm• 13 years ago

Extremely slow unfortunately.

tluyben2• 13 years ago

Had everything correct until a guru meditation popped up. I think most Dutch people should score very high on this.

ianferrel• 13 years ago

I got the same sound clip twice in 3 rounds. It was much easier the second time :)

hrasyid• 13 years ago

Is it really slow or only because trafic from HN?

vivin• 13 years ago

Very nice. I got 500! I second-guessed on all my wrong answers.

untitledwiz• 13 years ago

One of the Norwegian samples is an interview about Varg Vikernes (aka Burzum)!

clueless1233• 13 years ago

Great game

Big lag! I hope this is because lots of people are playing :)

lars51224• 13 years ago

There's some DevOps and some marketing lessons in here for me. But, long story short, the server's back up and running smoothly today.

If it felt sluggish for you yesterday, please try the game again and enjoy it as it's meant to be played!
