SHAPES - Documentation


This program is run from BASIC 2

This is an educational game for young (and not so young) children.

The idea is that the player picks out, using the mouse, the number of
shapes (or the number of shapes of a particular colour) requested by
the question.
These are selected from a total of 16 such shapes made up of squares,
circles and triangles and coloured red, green, blue, yellow, black or
white and displayed on the screen.
If a player gets all the shapes (and colours) right they will be
suitably rewarded by and their score will increase.
Each game consists of 10 such questions and, for each game, the reward
consists of one of the following:

     Making a flower grow up a wall.
     Launching a rocket.
     Raising a flag.

Those with programing experience can add further such rewards.


In each question the player is asked to pick out, say 3 TRIANGLES
(or it could be 3 GREEN TRIANGLES).
The player has to point to the shapes (3 in this case), which they
think are right, and click the mouse.
A correct shape will be highlighted in cyan. If wrong, in black.
Only the same number of clicks as shapes asked for is allowed.
When all the shapes have been selected the non-selected ones which are
incorrect will be cleared from the screen.

On clicking the mouse again the next question will be set.

At the end of the game a score will be given.


If all that sounds comlicated, I'll just say that it's easier
to play than explain.

So. Happy shape and colour finding!
