Short Description:

Long Description:

Learn, then test your knowledge about the United States and it's
capitals, when they came into the union, what is their nickname
and why are they called that. For kids and adults. Requires EGA/VGA.
There are four (4) modes of operation to NAME THAT STATE:
1) Study states - The states are displayed in alphabetical order
showing the state capital, date in union, state nickname and
how the nickname came to be, and a piece of trivia about the state.
2) Test on states - A state is highlighted on the US map, and displayed
on an inset. The user is then asked to select which state this is
from a multiple choice of four. The states are displayed randomly as
are the multiple choice. This state can be put back in the shuffle
if desired. If the answer is correct, the state is removed from the
shuffle and painted green on the US map. A right/wrong score is
is then displayed. If the answer is wrong, the state is removed from
shuffle and saved for review after all 50 states have been presented.
In either case the data on each state is displayed when the answer
is given (ie: capital,date in union, etc...).
3) Test on capitals - Same as 'Test on states' mode except the multiple
choice is of four (4) different cities.
4) Review - This mode is entered automatically if any answer was
incorrect. A review of all missed states or capitals is presented.
