GEOCLICK v 1.0.1

Geoclick is a  game which is meant to help you memorize where towns, countries and other are located in a map. In each game you will have to click on the map where the requested hotspot (town, country ... ) is located. You may choose whether you want to use a blank map or a regular map. You can change and localize the hotspot name. Several maps are available for download, as well as the opportunity to browse all available maps. The game is highly customizable and is meant for several users.
This game won't replace an atlas, but it is funny and useful enough to have you improve your knowledge.

REQUIREMENTS

The program requires a lot of memory and computing memory (at least 16 MB, P133) when several maps are available. Especially when browsing maps the program will load all of them into memory. A mouse is also a must. The maps must be put in a subdirectory of the directory where Geoclick is installed, the program will find them automatically. The program needs
- the real map (.jpg extension) / e.g. : italy.jpg
- the blank map (last letter before extension = m) / e.g. : italm.jpg
- the hotspot lists (.hsf files) / e.g. : regions.hsf (plain text files)
