Information for programmers

This little Activity is still a work in progress, but it's pretty functional already.

  • uses SVG for the country shapes
  • only has a map of Africa, and only displays the names in English
  • intended to be multi-player, but haven't written the code for that yet
  • when you finish the game it crashes rather than having a cool "TADA" type screen
  • the SVG colors aren't displaying like I think they should, so the highlighted coutries are actually purple instead of a nice yellow-orange
  • the code is hosted at [1]
