Wed 20-May-92: I have programmed two educational games involving
national flags. A quiz of national flags, and as a by-product, a
memory game of pairing turned flags. I have updated these games and
release the update as garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsgmed12.zip. I have
added new flags to reflect the changes brought by the recent world
events. The new flags include flags from the Commonwealth of
Independent States such as Russia, Ukraine, Byelorussia and so on.
   I have not, however, reflected the events in the Balkan region
since the picture is still forming. My flag games are devoid of any
political connotations. The (old?) Yugoslav flag is retained for the
time being in these games, since whatever happens at least it is
part of world history just like the flag of the Soviet Union
(although the latter does not feature in the games).
   I have added some common flags that were missing. These added
flags are those of Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada,
Brazil. This brings the total number of flags to en even 100.
   I usually try to avoid hype my own programs, but I wish to say
that I am fairly pleased with my flag games. They both are nicely
educational for children and adults alike, and they are pleasantly
colorful. Furthermore they made a reasonably challenging graphics
programming task. These games have brought me most of the feedback
(positive, I am pleased to say) that I have received from the gentle
users on my games programs.
   An Ega color video adapter is a necessary minimum for playing
these games.
   A tip: I you dont like to play, but would like to study the
flags, use FLAGQUIZ /d. The flags are displayed to you in an
alphabetical order. The alphabetical order is new feature in
FLAGQUIZ. I have this option because some users like me may
appreciate games in general, but do not have the time or the
inclination to play.
