I have seen the CAPTCHA on registration page. This CAPTCHA is unacceptable.
It _will_ make registration longer. It _will not_ prevent robots from registering on the website.
I have read the source code. CAPTCHAs must not be done this way. Do you really think robots will execute *YOUR* JavaScript? *Never trust the client.* https://labs.parabola.nu/match_game/match_game.js
If you will fix this issue, there are more issues:
Cards are stored here: https://labs.parabola.nu/match_game/assets/cards.png. This image can be used to bypass CAPTCHA.
Directory name is _assets_, which is not allowed by GNU. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Assets
There is '.' after '?' in 'would you?.'.
And, finally, it will be impossible to register without JavaScript, I think.
