Synopsis
eduactiv8
Usage
The game will start by default in windowed mode, but it can be changed into a fullscreen mode. The
configuration will be maintained whenever it is started again later.
Initially a login screen will be presented to the user. Users can either create an offline account for
themselves or use the default Guest account. When logging into the game a desired age (school year) can
be selected to fine tune the difficulty of activities.
When logged in, the game will present a starting screen with 3 main groups of categories of activities to
choose from. When a group is selected a list of all categories suitable for previously selected age group
will be shown. Further selection of a category will display a list of available activities. Upon clicking
on an activity icon it will start taking up the whole screen. A back button is located in the top left
corner to go back to the previous screen.
There are two steps to selecting a language. The language selected on the login screen will change the
language of the login screen only, but also will be used as a default language for new users. After
logging in individual users can choose a different language - the icon to access the language selection
screen is located in the bottom left corner of the home screen - the language selected here will be saved
for each user individually. This allows users to use the program to learn other languages.
