"Regarding Reddit JSON API, you can get a JSON document by adding /.json to any Reddit URL. For instance to get a JSON document for the subreddit /r/pics try the next url:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/.json

So this can be used to extract various data from any subreddit making an image viewer/browser for instance.

Furthermore, all images and their data scraped from a Reddit JSON could be also used to make some simple games. Here are some ideas:

  1. guessing which of two images has a better/worse upvotes score
  2. guessing a right range of upvotes for an image choosing between 2 or 3 different ranges
  3. guessing a title of an image choosing between 2 or 3 different titles as fast as possible

For now, we will just create a Reddit’s Image Scraper tool in HTML5 using Phaser framework to get a database of all scraped images which will be later used in a game."
