Ready to mix math, golf, and pillbugs?

Tee off with points, slopes, or angles! Pillbug Golf features nice
graphics, challenging problems, and great game play to give students fun,
practical experience with these math skills. Pillbug Golf is the first
release in the new Birds' Math Picnic series.

Each math skill has Beginner, Amateur, and Pro categories to fit a variety
of student ability levels. Students are challenged, but have a chance to
see the real effects of wrong answers and correct their mistakes. Pillbug
golf includes a 360-degree protractor and a built-in calculator as
accessories, but these are not available on every stroke, so that players
are also encouraged to use mental math and estimation as well as
mathematical tools.

Built-in help explains math skills and game play with textual descriptions.
The help screens for the three math skills also contain simple
interactive displays that demonstrate the key concepts.

The unregistered Demo lets you play with Points at the Beginner level, but
you are allowed to see the beginning problems and accessories on all the
other skills and levels as well.

PowerMac (anything from PowerPC Performa to iMac and G3) required for
suitable playing speed.

Pillbug Golf is $12 (US) shareware for one home, or $120 for one business
location or school. Registering enables you use all math skills and
levels.

For distribution with shareware CD's, etc., contact the author for
permission at least two weeks before finalizing collection content.

Version 1.2 corrects a few problems with graph lines and labels and
includes a minor improvement to game play.
