ConstellationsFlashCards

This page is currently being composed. The program is still being beta-tested. Please check back later.

Introduction

This program is a flash-cards style learning tool which presents the map of a constellation figure chosen randomly from among the 88 IAU constellations. The object is to select the constellation's name from one of five possible choices.

The current version of this program is [tbd], as can be determined from the "About" toolbar. It may be downloaded from [tbd].

Behavior

Although the program appears simple, there are some subtle behaviors involved. The program keeps track of how often a constellation is correctly identified on the first or second try and will present that constellation less often than one which the user is having trouble identifying.
