Hi.
Lots of high-powered suggestions, all worthwhile. But relatively complex. Why not import a nice map or two as a jpeg, and place transparent buttons over key locations? The game could then take many forms, where clicking on a country or city could answer a question posed, and a correct answer (or not) would be registered. The game could go in many directions with this simple structure, including the other way around from the above, and would be an excellent learning tool for you. Relations and facts among the many geographical sites can be exploited in all kinds of ways.

I've been lurking and learning for the last six months or so and I have to say that this list is one of the reasons I purchased a LiveCode seat. What a great resource! Besides, I got started in 3d years ago when the only place to be was on a list like this one, so there's definitely a nice oldskool kind of comfort level that you just don't seem to get on a web forum. > > I've been absolutely delighted with what I've been able to do with LiveCode > so far! I've mainly used it for some simple but custom business type apps used at my day job (Wine buyer and merchant). I hope to also eventually produce some apps to help out in my freelance visual effects work. > > In the meantime, I've been tasked by a friend to help develop a geography based game for her middle school class. Since there will not be an internet or wifi connection allowed, it rules out any connection to Google maps and related data. I'm not sure how to begin to approach a self contained version. > > The basic premise is similar to some of the flash based online geography games.
