Piano Flash Cards v1.0B
- - - -
PFC is an interactive, fun way of learning the notes on a staff!
It is designed to see how good you are with note reading, and can
be used to increase your knowledge and speed of sight reading.
If you already know the notes, it also gives you a chance to
exercise your keying for the certain notes on the keyboard!
CPU Requirements
- - -
PFC requires a DOS PC environment to run (isn't that difficult).
Unfortunately, that PC has to have a minimum of about 520K
conventional memory or unexpected results may occur.
Misc. Notes
- -
Make sure that your CAPS LOCK is OFF when you are guessing
the notes. PFC is case specific and is not designed to be
used with the CAPS LOCK on.
PFC's notes are randomly generated, however you will never
receive the same note twice in order.
PFC's time clock will start as soon as you enter into the
note screen, and will end as soon as you press the key of
the last note.
Scores are kept on a Trial Basis, therefore not ranked or
placed in any particular order other than the trial number.
The scoreboard will reset after the 20 trials have been filled.
When you quit PFC, the scores WILL NOT be saved.
Future versions of PFC will incorporate:
- Saving the scoreboard to disk for later executions
- Option of ranking scores by accuracy or speed
- Option of specifying amount of questions to answer
- Option of adding Interval question cards
- Test option will grade you!
