AN OVERVIEW WITH HISTORY...
ROCKY'S HEADACHE WAS WRITTEN TO HELP MY 12 YEAR OLD SON TO LEARN HIS
SCHOOLWORK. IT HAS ALSO PROVED USEFUL IN HELPING TO SEE IF HE HAS ABSORBED
WHAT HIS HOMEWORK TEACHES. WE HAVE USED IT TO TEACH SPELLING
(MULTI - CHOICE, WHICH WORD IS SPELLED WRONG?)
ROCKY IS HYPERACTIVE AND HAS A REAL PROBLEM CONCENTRATING ON ANYTHING.
BUT THE PROGRAM HAS ENOUGH COLORS AND FEATURES TO HOLD HIS ATTENTION AND
KEEP HIM FOCUSED ON WHAT HE IS READING.
THE JOKE QUESTIONS THROWN IN, MAKE THE TESTS MORE ENJOYABLE TO TAKE.
BUT WILL REALLY STRETCH YOUR BRAIN TRYING TO KEEP THEM COMING.
THE PROGRAM HAS A SECTION THAT LET'S YOU PICK COLORS (READ - TOY!)
FOR TEXT, BACKGROUND AND BORDER, THEN SHOWS THE NEXT COLOR SELECTION SCREEN
IN THE COLORS PICKED IN THE PREVIOUS SCREEN. THIS SECTION CAN BE REPEATED
AD NAUSIUM. (AND USUALLY IS!) BUT THE PROGRAM RETURNS TO ORIGIONAL
COLORS WHEN THE SECTION IS EXITED BY TYPING M.
THE AUTHOR OF THE PROGRAM, ME, IS A 36 YEAR OLD COLLEGE FRESHMAN.
THE PROGRAM IS WRITTEN IN TURBO BASIC BECAUSE THAT IS THE EXTENT OF MY
EDUCATION SO FAR.
