-- Program: Have You Read That Movie?
-- Description: Have You Read That Movie? is an entertainment-educational
program that tests the user's knowledge of literature and films via a
multiple-choice format. There are 91 easy questions, 141 medium questions
and 136 hard questions (368 total). Each correct answer is accompanied by
some interesting fact(s) about the movie or the literary work.
There are three modes of play: Single Player; Two Players Alternate; and
Two Players Compete (like a TV game show -- players compete to be first and
correct).
The user may choose to see the correct answer or not after answering
incorrectly. The user may choose to try 1, 2, or 3 times to get the right
answer before the program shows the correct answer or moves on to another
question.
The program runs correctly with CGA, EGA, VGA, Hercules, MDA, and MCGA
display adapters (color or monochrome) and with or without a mouse. The
user may adjust the mouse sensitivity.
There are four color scheme choices for the score, settings and quiz
windows and the user can choose among sixteen background colors.
The program uses drop-down menus and there is on-line help.
