- Using EuroGeo :
-
- On the opening screen, you are presented with a map of Europe.
- This map shows most European countries and other coutries that border
- Europe. The game automatically goes into "Quiz Mode", and will ask you
- to find a certain country. At first, though, you may be more comfortable
- in "Teach Me" mode.
-
- Teach Me Mode:
-
- Choose the "Teach Me" radio button on the right side of the screen,
- and EuroGeo will ask you to click on a country. Click on any country, and
- EuroGeo will identify the country and it's capital with a pointer on the
- map, and it will also display the country's flag on the lower right portion
- of the screen. The lower right section of the screen always gives the
- country name, capital and flag for the country you last clicked on, no
- matter which mode you are using.
-
- A few small European countries have been left out of the program
- since they were too small to reasonably click on with a mouse. A few of
- these are still seen on the map, such as Andorra, however these countries
- will not be identified by the program. Most islands will identify which
- country they are part of when you click on them (notice how close some
- Greek islands are to Turkey).
-
- Country Quiz:
-
- When you feel confident enough to be given a quiz, select
- "Country Quiz" from the game modes. EuroGeo will ask you to identify a
- country in the upper right portion of the screen. Click on the map where
- you believe the country is - if you are correct, you will be told so and
- you will move on to the next country. If you are incorrect, you will be
- told so, and the country will be added to the list of missed countries.
- At the end of the 42 countries, you will be given a percentage of countries
- you correctly identified.
-
- Missed Countries:
-
- If you miss a country, and you don't know where it is, select it
- from the list of "Missed Countries", and that country will be pointed out
- on the map for you. Selecting a country from this list will not effect
- your current game. The "Missed Countries" list on the main screen is only
- for the current game - a history of countries that have been missed can be
- found on the Statistics screen.
-
- Statistics:
-
- A list of every country you missed since the first time you loaded
- the program or since you last cleared the statistics is stored on the
- "Statistics" screen. This is accessed by clicking the "Statistics" button
- on the main screen. On the statistics screen, you can select a country
- from the list of "Most Commonly Missed Countries", and EuroGeo will point it
- out for you on the map, and it will tell you the total times you missed it
- in a caption below the list of missed countries. Below this caption is a
- history of your last ten scores (percent correct) of games that you
- finished, stored chronologically with the most recent game at the top. Below
- this list are options to either clear the statistics or return to the game.
-
- New Game:
-
- If, at any time during a game, you choose to start a new game, click
- on "New Game" from the main screen. Your percentage will not be saved, but
- every country you missed will be saved.
-
- Info:
-
- Any time during the game, you can switch over to the Info screen by
- clicking the "Info" button on the main screen. This screen contains a few
- notes, acknowledgments, and the address to send your registration payment
- to.
-
- Some Final Notes:
-
- EuroGeo is not crippled in any way. This is the final program, and
- it will work continuously. No reminder screens will pop up. We believe
- that a simple, easy to understand, lean, compatible program will be
- appreciated. Please let us know if this is so.
