[OLPC-Games] Geography... and darts...

[Xavier Alvarez]

Today I received one of those pesky .pps presentations that 
actually I enjoyed (actually an embeded flash iirc).  Here's the 
idea:

Ingredients:
1) Map (may be political, topographical, etc.)
2) mouse-darts (also known as cursor)

You present the map, and a feature to locate in it (in this case, 
capital cities). When the user clicks, you show the actual point 
and calculate the distance to the objective.

At the end of the round (european capitals in this case), you 
present the score (I assume based on all the 'missed by' 
distances).

Simple, elegant and fun (even though it was in german ;)

If anybody is interested I can send you the .pps or you can look 
for it in the web: "Hauptst_dte.pps"

Cheers,
Xavier
