Neural Nector - Can you tell the difference?

Neural Nector is an interactive web game that challenges players to identify AI-generated (fake) flowers from real ones. Test your perception skills as you navigate through different difficulty levels, compete on leaderboards, and see if you can spot the difference! Learn more.

🎮 Game Overview

The game presents you with a grid of flower images - some are real photographs, others are AI-generated. Your task is to select all the fake (AI-generated) flowers before time runs out. The game features:

• Multiple Difficulty Levels: Easy (2x2), Normal (4x4), Hard (6x6), and Impossible (8x8)
• Two Ratio Modes:
  • Equal Ratio: 50/50 split of real and fake flowers
  • Random Ratio: Variable ratio with bonus scoring
• Dynamic Scoring: Based on how well you identify fake images and completion time
• Global Leaderboards: Compete with players worldwide, filtered by difficulty
• Responsive Design: Works seamlessly on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices

🎯 How to Play

1. Select Difficulty: Choose your board size (Easy, Normal, Hard, or Impossible)
2. Choose Ratio: Pick between Equal Ratio or Random Ratio (for bonus points)
3. Start Game: Click "Start" to reveal the flower images
4. Select Fake Flowers: Click on all the AI-generated flowers you can identify

6. Review: Watch as your selections are reviewed one by one
7. View Score: See your final score and submit it to the leaderboard!

📊 Scoring System

Your score is calculated based on two factors:

• F1 Score (0-50 points): A balanced metric that considers both precision and recall

  • Formula: TP / (TP + 0.5 × (FP + FN)) × 50
  • TP (True Positives): Correctly identified fake images
  • FP (False Positives): Real images incorrectly selected as fake
  • FN (False Negatives): Fake images you missed
  • Perfect F1 score (1.0) = 50 points

• Time Bonus (0-50 points): Based on how quickly you complete the game

  • Maximum time limits: Easy (10s), Normal (30s), Hard (60s), Impossible (120s)
  • Faster completion = higher bonus (up to 50 points)

• Ratio Multiplier:

  • Random Ratio: Applies a multiplier that adds bonus points (up to 25 base points)
  • Equal Ratio: No multiplier, raw score only

Final score = (F1 Score + Time Bonus) × Ratio Multiplier + Ratio Base Score
