FLAGS OF THE WORLD - by - RAB DINGWALL
Written 1993 using AMOS
and up-dated 1996 with AMOS-PRO
(every time they have a revolution they change the bloody flag!)
This is my first attempt at writing what I hope is a reasonable
educational program but I do know there isn't much in the way of
gameplay.
The main objective was to teach myself to use AMOS. I'm sure there
are many of you who could do better and if anyone does recode it
I'd be grateful for a copy.
As I haven't got an Amos compiler the file is quite large and I regret
that in it's present form
******* IT WON'T RUN ON A 1Mb MACHINE *****
Sorry, but maybe those good Guys at
AMIGA FORMAT will have fixed that if they feel its worthy of inclusion
on the next compilation of Readers Stuff.
I must also apologise to any national whose flag I haven't quite got
correct, my reference books may be out of date and some of the newer
or should I say resurrected Eastern Block States are not yet well known.
Apologies especially to those countries with script on their flag..
it's not easy copying it on this scale and I hope my attempts do not
cause offence. Some were so intricate I didn't even try.
Improvements
------------
Would like to animate the flags
Need some way of compacting the data
TROUBLE is... I just don't have the time to deepen my knowledge
and I'll never get round to doing more.
The Game
--------
It's quite simple consisting of a multiple choice answer but I've
tried to ensure that the children...Not You...don't get too easy a
time as they can only see a very small number of flags each time
they load up.
I wouldn't have the nerve to call this Shareware or any other kind
of ware ...do what you like with it...Just don't tell me its complete
crap!
Only those who genuinely want to offer CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions
should send me a disc with their "improvements".You can contact me
