Overview:

The game knows about 228 separate locales. The goal is merely to follow the popup instructions to the next locale and click on it. If correct it will be painted in a random bright color. The popups tell the name and population of the country (2005 data) and show the outline of the target locale. At the end all 228 locales will be colored and there will be no further popus. The status bar at the bottom shows the current target locale and the words "End of Game" upon completion. At present the only difference between "Play" and "Tour" modes is that in Tour mode each country is automatically colour-filled and no user action is required. The ordering is random and the colors are also random but constrained to ensure that they are bright. This is just a beginning. The countries data structure could be supplemented with more data, links to images, historical data, facts, holidays ... imagination is the only limit. Future improvements could also include things like a way to constrain the activity to a certain region, like Africa/Asia/Caribbean/Europe/Americas etc.

Instructions:

• Wait until the map is visible before pushing any buttons. It is approximately 10M of data.
• The difference between "Play" and "Tour" is that Play mode requires the user to click on the target country to apply the random colour and Tour mode colours each country automatically.
• The AutoZoom feature zooms into the target locale making it easy to find. When AutoZoom is off use the Hint button to AutoZoom to the target locale when necessary.
• The Settings popup provides additional settings which should be self-explanatory.
