eduMap provides a fun way to learn the location of countries, states and capitals. Includes multiple maps, high scores and different playing modes.

Always wanted to learn the location of each African country? How about capitals of U.S. states? Maybe you never had a chance to learn all the names of all independent European nations since 1991?

The eduMap widget provides a fun way to learn the location of countries, states and capitals. Select either a full continent or a subsection of countries, then be quizzed on their locations. In the default mode, just hover over a country or state and discover its name, capital, area and population.

Different quiz modes are available to help you lean in a variety of ways. High scores are recorded on your system, based on percentage correct and completion time. 100% SVG based, so you can resize the widget to whatever size is preferred without any quality loss.

Currently Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the USA are available. More maps may be added in the future.

Optional languages are English and Russian.

Changelog for V1.5:

- Added support for language packs
- Added Russian language as option
- Fixed scrollbar bug when resizing
- Fixed background for Capital->Location mode
- Now shows high score display for any selection with high score
- No longer accepts clicks on completed countries
- Fixed circled countries being hidden
- Fixed circled country hover effect
- Added more circled countries
- Optimized some country shapes
- Animated minimize effect
- Optimized resize animation effect

Anyone interested in translating the widget into another language, please contact me. You can use this file to see what text needs to be translated and how it needs to be formatted. Note that I mostly just need the interface text translated, the actual country/state/capital names I can probably do myself.

@skulldyvan - That's kind of funny, since V1.5 (the one with all the fixes) isn't actually available yet on this page.

Which explains why your version is still accepting those clicks.

I submitted it a few days ago, not sure what the reason is for the delay...

@GreyWyvern - Thanks! That means a lot to me coming from a veteran widget maker.

Try just learning it sections (through the filters), that should probaby help!

Man, this widget is cool, but I lose every time in Africa, lol.

発言者 GreyWyvern, # 2008/03/28 2:16:41

it surely lags less this new version but It still accepts clicks on completed countries for some reason....
BTW, could the next version contain a version number in a corner?
Keep up the good work.

@skulldyvan

Re: lag - I suspect it's slower on larger maps because there's more countries to draw. I might be able to speed it up by simplifying the country shapes, but then they might look a bit ugly and harder to identify when zoomed in. Also, it makes countries fit less nice against each other.

I believe this is mainly something for Opera to improve, and it's already faster in Opera 9.5 beta compared to Opera 9.2x.

Re: Brunei and other small countries - These should be a lot easier to select and display properly in V1.5, let me know if there are still any countries with problems.

Re: autozoom - An excellent idea, and one I'd considered before myself...I already know the mouse sensitivity can't be changed, though hypothetically one might be able to emulate the behavior. The zoom part is probably be possible, but might slow down the widget even more. It's definitely something I'd like to look into.

発言者 Fyrd, # 2008/03/25 17:49:40

@fyrd: I can't really say where it lags the most but usually the more countries the more lag. After playing for a longer while it has less lag.
Also, among other reccomandations, maybe a zoom option would be nice so you can get countries like Brunei when playing on whole Asia and kanders suggestion (and I might add that after clicking Malaysia Brunei is unselectable b/c it is covered in green too and the border is not visible at all)

UPDATE:
Maybe an autozoom option like: when going with te mouse pointer over an area like Israel and Jordan a magnyfied version of the area could appear in a corner and the sensitiviy of the mouse could decrease so you can click more precisely.(I don't say that after going over such an area you'll have to go with the mouse over the magnified version, it should work like the magnifier of windows for disabled people, only show, which is why I'd sugest an automatic loss of senivity of the mouse)
P.S.: I don't know how much of this the widget engine makes possible but more of these features the better if you ask me.

@skulldyvan - Could you tell me at what point in the game you are experiencing the most lag?
Also, thanks for that info, I'll see what I can do to fix it.

@kander - Thank you very much! Delighted to hear it.

You're absolutely right, that makes sense. Should be an easy fix for next update. Thanks again!

発言者 Fyrd, # 2008/03/18 20:20:39

Fyrd - you've got no idea how much this tool has helped me.

One minor request: When in Name-To-Location mode, would it be possible to disable the onClick for countries that have already been marked (either blue or red)? Especially on large maps (Africa without filter), it's very easy to misclick (lost track of the times I hit Senegal instead of Gambia...), especially when trying to set personal speedrecords. Since these countries are no longer a valid choice, disabling the click event has only benefits, as far as I can se...

発言者 kander, # 2008/03/18 14:20:23

I don't see why it's lagging so much
Also, sometimes (actually most of the time) you can't get 100% right because the small countries like Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino tend to stay in the background.
I look forward that these bugs will be repaired.

interesting

@geothermal

They already can be seperated by using the North America or South America options in the "Filter" menu, though. Is there a problem with using that method?

I do admit that under "North America" the Caribbean islands are rather hard to pick. I'll see what I can do for that for the next version.

Thanks for the feedback!

発言者 Fyrd, # 2008/03/04 16:20:49

I suggest North and South America be separated into separate educational sections. Some of the countries are too small to click on.

@kvascola
Thanks! And yes, as I added more maps and prettified the interface, it started getting a little slow. I'll probably try to fix that in a future version. Might be a bit better in Opera 9.5b if you haven't tried that already.

発言者 Fyrd, # 2008/02/21 15:25:28

Awesome thing but very slow running

発言者 kvascola, # 2008/02/21 13:28:21

I hate Canada, so I'm pretending it doesn't exist.

Actually that's a bug that has been fixed for the next update.

Apparently I put some bad characters in the path for Canada, which is why it doesn't show up. It worked in the build of Opera I was testing it on, but not in Opera 9.2.
