- COMMENTS AND TIPS:
-
- EuroGeo includes most European countries and surrounding nations. We
- believe that including nations that border Europe, such as Turkey,
- Morocco, Russia, etc, help give a little better understanding of Europe.
-
- This program was written during late 1996 and early 1997. Any changes
- in any borders after January, 1997 will not be shown in EuroGeo. We will
- try to keep new versions available as nations' borders change. In
- particular, at this time there are quite a few potential changes in
- Southeastern Europe with Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, etc,
- and there are also potential changes in and around the UK. We plan to
- keep pace with these changes, and will release updates when major or
- permanent changes are made.
-
- Any requests for other continents will be considered. We plan to do
- all continents, however precedence will be given to the continents that
- most people request. If there is a certain continent that you would like
- to see done, please email me with your request.
-
- We apologize for leaving out some small countries, such as Andorra,
- Liechtenstein and San Marino. You will see that Andorra actually exists
- on the map, but it is not enabled. We found these nations to be too small
- to identify with a mouse (Liechtenstein was 1 pixel in an early version of
- the program). We acknowledge these countries, and we ask that people take
- the time to find them on a printed map, however adding them to EuroGeo
- added a level of complexity to the program that seemed excessive at the
- time.
-
- EuroGeo should be relatively simple to use. We recommend that you
- switch to "teach me" mode your first time. EuroGeo will keep track of the
- nations that you most commonly miss, and stores your percentage correct
- for the last 10 games on the "Stats" screen. All personal statistics can
- be cleared with the "Clear Stats" button in the Stats screen.
-
- In the list of countries that you missed during the Country Quiz, you
- can click on any country in the list to find out where it is and it's
- capital. This can also be done from the Statistics screen, which will
- show a list of every country missed since the last time the stats were
- cleared.
-
- There are no known bugs as of this date. EuroGeo was written with a
- bare minimum of resources in attempts to keep it small, fast and
- compatible. No external libraries aside from the Visual Basic runtime
- library were used. We believe the absence of glamorous DLLs has not
- detracted from the usability and functionality of this program. Every
- attempt has been made to ensure that it runs quickly and cooperatively.
- If you have found otherwise, please contact us whether or not you have
- registered. Bug reports are accepted from anyone. Bug fixes are given a
- priority to registered users.
-
- EuroGeo was programmed by John C. von Rosen (jcvonrosen@dnx.net).
- I welcome any comments or questions about my programming style or
- techniques.
