Teachers Create Games that Make Learning Fun
5th Tradition Software, Inc. has released BoardBOSS, an easy-to-use
Windows application that lets educators create educational board games
that help students learn. Instead of using the computer to drill
students, you can create interactive Q&A games that tantalize children,
and make learning fun.
Players interact with your game by answering questions, and moving their
pieces around the game board. Create any number of game-card questions,
divided into any number of card decks. Each card can contain a true/false
question, or a multiple-choice question with up to four
possible answers.
No programming experience is needed to design a game with unique game
play. Start with one of the sample game boards that come with BoardBOSS, or
turn your own artwork into a custom game board. Choose dice or slots to
determine how players move around the board.
One of twelve actions can be assigned to each space on the board,
allowing you to do things like gain or lose points, move forward or
backward along the board, and gain or lose turns. You can design a
custom splash screen, select the font that you'll use for the game,
choose a default character set for the players' pieces, choose the type
of music to include in your game, and write a custom help file.
In addition to playing games at home and in the classroom, you can
distribute your games, with no royalty payments. BoardBOSS comes with
free player software that lets your game run on just about any Windows
computer.
Whether you're an educator who wants to find innovative and challenging
ways to keep your students engaged in the learning experience, a parent
who wants to transform your kids' computer game-playing time into
learning time, or a home user who wants to create cool games that you
can share with friends and family, BoardBOSS has the tools that you need.
BoardBOSS runs under Windows 98SE/ME/NT4/2000/XP, requires Internet
Explorer 5.5 (with Service Pack 2) or newer, costs $29.95(US), and may
be purchased securely online at http://www.boardboss.biz/. You can
download a free, 30-day trial version from the same web site. For more
