PROGRAM INFORMATION
1st. Maths has been written in STOS
and then compiled. A fully upgraded
version of STOS was used, so it is
compatible with all versions of ST's
and STE's.
RUNNING
Place the disk in drive A and turn on
the ST. When the desktop appears
double click on the 1STMATHS.PRG icon.
The program will then load and run.
This file may be placed in an AUTO
folder for automatic loading and
running when the ST is turned on.
INTRODUCTION
1st. Maths is a game aimed at young
children who are learning the basics
of counting, addition and subtraction.
A short memory type game is included
to give the child an occasional break.
INSTRUCTIONS
Once loaded, the 1st. Maths selection
screen appears. Use the mouse to
select your game by clicking on the
box of your choice - ie. counting,
addition, subtraction, or the game.
You may also choose to quit 1st. Maths
from this screen.
MATHS GAMES - The child is given a
series of questions, and answers them
by moving the mouse over one of the
numbers at the base of the screen and
clicking either button. If he presses
the 'END' box then he his shown the
number of questions asked and the
number of questions he has answered
correctly. After a short tune is
played the selection screen is again
shown.
MEMORY GAME - This short game is can
be played by one or two players. The
child moves the mouse over his first
choice, and then repeats this process
for his second choice. His score is
increased if a pair has been found. If
not, then play is given to the second
player. Play continues until all pairs
are found, or until the 'END' box is
chosen. In this case all pairs are
shown, and the selection screen is
again shown.
UNDERSOFT
We are a group of programmers that
see a great gap in the ST software
market for children's software - both
educational and games. We produce this
software as shareware and encourage
you to copy it and give copies away to
friends and enemies. We do ask that
all files remain unaltered on the disk
if you choose to share it around. If
you use and enjoy the program then
please send an amount of money,
suggest $15-20, to the address below
to become a registered user. (Does
this mean I'll soon be rich? Ha Ha!)
