Versions

- Released to the wild
Known issues
as of v3 :
- three little bugs in africa : Gambia, Lesotho and Swaziland do not show up as yellow when they come up in the list... they are too small perhaps in the svg. adding a 2px halo around each country should solve that problem generally, if possible...
- one large bug in africa : Zimbabwe is called "Mozambique"
- it quits on completion. It should say something like "congratulations!" when you are done and let you pick again, instead
Feature requests
- Adjust difficulty : let players choose the # of options per question, from 3 to 7
- Add language support : there are good 100-language lists of country names.
- For extra difficulty, support randomly selecting a language for each country name shown, from a given set of languages
Information for programmers
This little Activity is still a work in progress, but it's pretty functional already.
- Uses SVG for the country shapes
- Has multiple continents, but 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]
