FindTheCountry

The excellent 'World Countries' game made by 'orinoco' is implemented in SVG and javascript in a single file:

It is a lovely game, it is under the GDL and already works on the OLPC. It would make an absolutely great activity for the OLPC and only needs a little bit of tuning to make it work perfectly on the platform.

ToDos:

* (EASY) perhaps change the color scheme to increase the contrast
* (MEDIUM) increase the spacing between countries to improve visibility on the OLPC's high-res screen
* (MEDIUM) make it all fit without scrolling left and right
* (EASY) adjust the size and placement of the text to improve rendering and avoid clipping
* (???) package as an OLPC Activity

New Features:

* choose a continent to practice on
* click on the country name to go to a wikipedia search
* internationalize the text
* package the wikipedia country pages as part of the activity
