- Target is a very simple game which will help children to learn about
- rectangular coordinates in an amusing way.
-
- You open the main Target window from the Icon Bar menu, clicking SELECT
- on the Target (Game) entry. A window will open with a pane at the top
- and a largely blank space underneath. Somewhere in this space will be a
- target.
-
- The object of the game is to find, by trial and error, the coordinates
- of the bulls eye of the target. For each game the target is randomly
- positioned in the window.
-
- There are four different games that you can play and these are selected
- by using the radio buttons marked 1 to 4. Games 1 and 2 deal only with
- the first quadrant of the plane and games 3 and 4 deal with all four
- quadrants.
-
- You make a guess by typing coordinates (eg. 2,6) into the writable icon
- and then either press RETURN or click on the <OK> button. If your guess
- is incorrect a message to this effect will be displayed and a black dot
- the size of the bull's eye will be shown on the screen at the position
- of your guess. You can then use this information to make your next
- guess. N.B. If you want to type in the brackets that is allowable
- but they are not necessary.
-
- When the answer is correct you will be told and can then press the new
- game button to try a new position.
-
- The main window menu allows you to set a grid and/or axes in order to get
- younger children started.
-
- The configuration is savable from the icon bar menu.
-
-
- This application is FreeWare.
