The DISPLAY will not change until the picture that matches
the word is selected. When a Correct Selection is made, a
random Musical selection is played until a key is pressed.

complementary learning game to choice b. A Picture is

the status area at the bottom of the screen. When the
correct selection is made,a Random Musical Reward is given
as reinforcement.
MEHELP is available by pressing F1 at almost any point in
the program
The opening screen offers the choice of Three-Second
Languages and a Mother Tongue. As it is now configured,
"METOO" uses English as the Mother Tongue, but this can be
over-ridden by changing the external ascii file "PICLIST"
which is the dictionary of words and picture names. The
opening screen and menu screens are external files of
garden variety CGA Resolution .PCX type and can be
editted or alternately replaced by either BSAVED
images or ZSOFT PCPAINTBRUSH files, again allowing for
open customization of METOO.EXE.
We made the small graphics panels primarily using Eugene
Ying's PCPG and Later we colorated them in Logitech's
PaintShow Plus. Final processing to BSAVED GRAPHICS arrays
was done using my UTILITY FRAG.EXE. The program will also
accept the GRAPHICS arrays of the type used by TURBO or
MICROSOFT C's getimage() and putimage() should these be
saved to disc in raw form.
Hardware Requirements : IBM PC or compatible
Display Types: CGA and Compat and HERCULES or EQUAL
