CATAGORIES - Documentation
=========================
Files used:- CATAGORY.EXE
CATAGORY.DAT
CATAGORY.DOC (This file)
The game of CATAGORIES is intended to help children with their
understanding of words. In it they are presented with a type of
thing (Cataogory) and, from a list of 5 other words, they have
to choose and type in the word that belongs to that catagory.
Each game consists of 10 such catagories and they are presented
with their score out of 10.
CATAGORIES is intended to form part of a suite of programs
called WORD GAMES. However it can be run on its own by switching
to the directory CATAGORY and typing CATAGORY at the > prompt.
The data used by CATAGORY is held in the ASCII file CATAGORY.DAT.
Being a simple ASCII file it can be amended with a word
processor or editor running in the ASCII mode.
The form of the data file is as follows:-
First line contains number of catagories in the file.
This is followed on the next line by a catagory. Then by the
number of words in that catagory and the words themselves. This
pattern is repeated throughout the file. The length of the words
must not exceed 17 characters.
You are free to copy and distribute this program either on its
own or with the rest of the programs in the suite. However,
please include this document with the copy:
If you like the program/suite of programs and/or make a copy, it
would be appreciated if you could send a donation of £5.00 to me:
