Target is a very simple game which will help children to learn about
rectangular coordinates in an amusing way.
You open the main Target window from the Icon Bar menu, clicking SELECT
on the Target (Game) entry. A window will open with a pane at the top
and a largely blank space underneath. Somewhere in this space will be a
target.
The object of the game is to find, by trial and error, the coordinates
of the bulls eye of the target. For each game the target is randomly
positioned in the window.
There are four different games that you can play and these are selected
by using the radio buttons marked 1 to 4. Games 1 and 2 deal only with
the first quadrant of the plane and games 3 and 4 deal with all four
quadrants.
You make a guess by typing coordinates (eg. 2,6) into the writable icon
and then either press RETURN or click on the <OK> button. If your guess
is incorrect a message to this effect will be displayed and a black dot
the size of the bull's eye will be shown on the screen at the position
of your guess. You can then use this information to make your next
guess. N.B. If you want to type in the brackets that is allowable
but they are not necessary.
When the answer is correct you will be told and can then press the new
game button to try a new position.
The main window menu allows you to set a grid and/or axes in order to get
younger children started.
The configuration is savable from the icon bar menu.
This application is FreeWare.
I hope it is useful. Any comments to me:

This is is large graph plotting and data analysis package.
Numbers:
This application tells you all you may want to know about the Natural numbers.
Tables:
This is a desktop arithmetic tables tester.
Gauss:
This solves large sets of simultaneous equations.
All of the above are available from A.P.D.L. or the DataFile P.D. libraries
or direct from me.
