BOOK WEEK--BOOK SEARCH
----------------------

     There are multiple-choice questions dealing with library
skills and general library knowledge.

     Each correct answer allows the player to search in the
library for a book.  The player then has to select the correct 
shelf on which to find the book.  There are twelve shelves, one 
for each of the main Dewey classifications along with a FICTION 
shelf and an EASY READING shelf.

     If an incorrect choice is made, the player is shown the
correct answer and then the choices are displayed again.  The
question may reappear later in the game.  

     Questions are presented in a random order.  This means that each
time the game is played the questions will not appear in the same order.

     The program allows for the loading of alternative question sets.
Using a word processor, such as Notepad, the questions can be edited
and customized question files can be built.


    Points are awarded for each book found.  The points depend
upon the length of the game, the number of books located, and the
difficulty level of the game.  At the easy level, the Dewey call
number is given along with the book title.  At the difficult
level, the only guide to the book's location is its title.

    Additional books can be added to the game.  The program allows 
for the selection of new pictures to be loaded to be used as rewards 
for correct answers.  The user can build lists of bitmapped pictures 
that have been created in a drawing program, or illustrations that 
have been scanned in or captured from a video source. As long as 
it is a bitmapped picture it can be used.
     
     The player has the option of changing the time limit of
the game and can also change the number of questions to be 
answered.

     The fifteen highest scores are saved as an incentive for the
player to continue to improve his/her score.
