Version History 1.0d9 - January 31, 1996 • Now compiled with CodeWarrior version 8 • Fixed preferences problem with Quizzer. • Added font name and size for the entry field on the Quizzer (still working on the color). • After a new deck is opened, user is asked if they wish to start quizzing or not. Added prefs option bypass this dialog and immediately begin quizzing after opening new deck. • Can now immediately restart the deck from the scoring window. • Can now save results of quizzing to a text file. • Fixed bug with reading of multiple choice cards (note that this was a reading problem; the decks with Multiple Choice cards were saved correctly). • When using "OK and Add" in the edit dialog, control is returned to the first field in the dialog (to allow further editing). • Card list is now active on return from the edit dialog. • Can mass edit the number of tries and the value of cards in the Editor 1.0d8 - January 21, 1996 • Finallyfixed bug with 'Randomize Deck', 'Never Repeating', and when there was only one card left in the deck in the Quizzer. • Fixed Import and Export features in the Editor (left over from file type change in d7). • Fixed probable cause of crashes with the Editor when there were no existing preferences. • Fixed text color problems on 256 color monitors (using wrong mode for drawing test). • Moved preferences locations for the Quizzer. There are now two prefs dialog, one for display/end-user oriented items and one for answer checking and the like (which in potential future versions, would be disabled for a student version or the like). Both dialogs are accessible from the Edit menu (ala Apple guidelines). Most the deck menu removed, as options are duplicated in the display prefs dialog. • Time for user response is now appended with units in the Score dialog of the quizzer. Fixed problem with large times. 1.0d7 - January 16, 1996 • Drag and Drop editing is now supported in the Editor. Text clippings (and drops) can be dropped onto the card list to add card ala Import Deck. • Picture and Sound fields on their respective views in the edit dialog are part of their respecitve tab cycles. • Score is now shown when the first card appears in the quizzer. • Card types with resources weren't properly saved from the quizzer. • Several internal rewrites to improve the ability to add additional card types. • Can now record in the sound card's edit dialog • Drastically improved sorting speed (Gee, why *not* use quicksort? *duh* :-) • Removed the empty extra item that appeared when switching from any other type to a multianswer card in the edit window. • Removed the extra scroll bar that appeared on the multianswer edit dialog when it first came up. • Version number is now 'automated' in the About box. • Added "Ok and Add" button to string input dialog for Multiple Answer dialog ala the on for the edit dialog, with similar functionality. • Rewrote documentation in DocMaker format. • When saving a desk of missed cards, the description of the new deck will report the time and the date when the deck was saved. • Responses in the Quizzer are now timed, and the total response time and the time per card are reported in the Performance dialog. • Preferences files are stored with the version of MacFlash that made them. • 'kind' and 'open' resources added to both programs. • Reduced the memory requirements for the Editor to 750k min, 1000k preferred. • Internals of program are rewritten to be more dynamic (aiming towards card type plug-ins down the road, and even easier for adding new cards). May be some hidden bugs I have yet to find. • Added Editor preference 'Use Last CardType'. • Format of Editor Preference changed drastically; suggested that either delete prefs or check prefs before using program. • Format of decks changed drasticly; old format will be supported until first release version. • Slight change to look for Editor. Added a status line. • More internal rewrites of code to improve OOP-ness and speed. • Fixed bug with sort routines. 1.0d6 - January 7, 1995 • Fixed major bug of not being able to save a deck as an existing file. (released as a small update) • Decks can now be sorted (only in ascending order though, but is descending order really necessary?). • Fixed bug: If clicked 'Ok and Add' while editing an existing card, "new" cards replaced the original card. This no longer occurs. • Default button in edit dialog changes depending on context: 'OK' if editing an existing card, or 'OK and Add' if editing a new card. • Card count is displayed in editor. A card count has been added to the quizzer's deck description dialog. • Improved Cut and Paste. Can now C&P multiple cards ala standard List Manager. Appropriate commands are enhanced/limited depending on selection. TEXT clips can now be read in ala the import feature (that is, will be stored as Plain Text cards and expect the same format). • Add Card's keyboard command changed from command A to command I (so that Select All would be the appropriate command A). • Decks are now saved using the Quizzer's creator type. This means that double-clicking on a deck will load it into the Quizzer instead of the editor. • Missed cards can be saved as a deck or as a text file from the performace window in the quizzer. • Potential total score was not being reset to zero between reading of decks. • The quizzer can now open and quiz on more than one deck at a time. See documentation for more details. • Added password protection for decks within the editor. • Added Sound card type, as well as the internal support for more multimedia card types. • Cards are cached when they are quizzed on in the Quizzer; this should speed up performance for viewing and checking. • Added ability to stop quizzing in mid-deck. • MultiAnswer cards should now work properly (editing a card previously left garage in the answer field). • 3D-ized the MultiAnswer entry dialog • After inputing info for a new card, fields are checked for potential non-program related problems (i.e. lack of a question on a plain text card.) Some of these checks are suggestive, and can be turned off with the new 'Relaxed Checking' pref in the Editor. • Certain card information is transfered between card types when switching types in the edit dialog. 1.0d5 - Late December, 1995 • Added import and export abilities in the editor. • Fixed some of the documentation for typos. • Improved the look of the deck list in the editor, added headings and values and try information • Decks can now set specific answer checking options. These can also be set to the quizzer's default. (Decks made previous to 1.0d5 will still work with no problems). • Changed file type of decks from 'deck' to 'DECK'. The former violated Apple's claim on file types of all lower case letter. 1.0d4 - Late Nov, 1995 • Questions and answers can now be reversed in the quizzer, either never, always, or at random. • Fixed problem with window elements not being moved appropriated when quizzer window was resized. • Text for question of a Plain Text card is now drawn vertically centered in the window. • Fixed Notecard look • Answer field in quizzer can now be adjusted for 1 to 5 lines. • Can toggle if 'Return' or 'Enter' should be used to accept answer.

(Note: as expected, this was very easy to do with the current layout of the program, so I can easily add new card type requests.) 1.0d3 - Nov 9, 1995 • Compiled to use new 3DAdditions classes - NOTE: for the time being the Notecard function does not work as expected. Am looking into it. • Controls now use the 3DButtons CDEF • Both programs now have Balloon Help • Font, size, and style can now be set for the quizzer, and are saved between sessions. • Foreground and background can now be set and saved between quizzer sessions. 1.0d2 - Oct 29, 1995 • Description is now saved whenever it is edited • Removed 'Page Setup...' and 'Print' options from File Menu (not used) • Fixed dialog box shown when closing an modified deck • Added ability to close deck in Quizzer, in order to start a new deck • Modified or fixed interface to be more 3D like • Added "OK And Add" button in Edit Card Dialog • Menus are disabled when modal dialogs are opened 1.0d1 - Oct 10, 1995 • Initial public release
