MATH STARS V. 3.0.1

Class Roster

     Use the TAB key to move to the next edit field.  Enter as many or as
few names as you like.  Click in the box next to the name of the current
player.  Click Continue or press Return to continue.  When you return
to this window, the current player will be the one highlighted.

Options Window

     Select the function and the time limit as desired.  If the timer is turned
off, the player will NOT receive a star for a perfect round.
     "Allow negative numbers" will include negative as well as positive
numbers randomly in the problems.
     "Fix lower number" will bring up a box into which you may enter a 
number from 2-9.  This number will always appear as the lower number
until this option is turned off.

Game Screen

     When the problems appear, type in the numbers of the correct answer.
There is no need to press return.  If the answer is correct a chime will 
sound and the correct answer thermometer will begin to fill.  If 2 digits
are entered and the answer is wrong, it will vanish.  

Hint:  If you enter a one digit, incorrect answer you may use delete to erase it.  However,
 it is probably quicker to just enter another number and the  entire answer will vanish.

     A round contains 10 problems.  If all 10 are answered correctly 
within the alloted time, the star will light and the player will be 
awarded a star. Any incorrect problems will appear with the correct 
answer in the area on the left of the screen.

Result Window

     At the end of 10 questions, a window will appear with a message for
the player depending on the results.  The buttons in this window have the
following effects:
                              Try Again: Returns to game screen, same player, 
                              same options.
                              Options: Returns you to the options window.
                              New Player: Returns you to the Class Roster for
                              changing players or seeing your earned stars.

     <Windows may also be selected from the Windows Menu>

Hall of Fame

     A player earning 10 stars will automatically be entered into the Hall 
of Fame.  This player's earned stars will be reset to 0.  The Hall of Fame
may be seen at any time by selecting it from the Windows Menu.

Names Files

     Math Stars stores the names and stars earned in the file called 
MSNames in your system folder.  If Math Stars cannot find a file by
that name in your SYSTEM FOLDER, it creates one with generic names and
zero stars. You may switch files (i.e. create ten names on one file and 10
different names on another file).  Just make sure that the one you want
to use is in the SYSTEM folder of your computer and is named EXACTLY
MSNames.  Hall of Fame names are stored in the resource fork of
the application.

Enjoy Math Stars !!!
