mFlash - 1.4
I was looking for a simple flashcard program to
help my daughter brush up on her times tables,
and on Linux I could find nothing recent enough
to compile properly with current tools. Figured
I could make one myself, and might as well let it
run on Windows, too.
The simple layout is self-explanitory (the
kids will figure it out fast enough...) You
can have them turn off the sound if the noises
get to you :)
mFlash binary running on Ubuntu-5.10
Multiplication Flash (mFlash) is just a way to save the mess, bother,
and expense of paper flashcards. And I think the kids enjoy the feedback and noises.
Anything ypu can do to encourage, you know . . .
As mentioned above, you can turn of the sound ("good job"
or "shucks" sort of sounds -- a few dozen different ones. You can
choose to work on a particular number; for instance, pick "Number 7"
if you are having trouble with your sevens. Or just leave the dropdown box
on "All Numbers" if you would rather have random problems.
As far as basic usage goes -- you enter the number you think is the correct answer
in the "Type Answer" box, then either hit the keyboard "Enter" key,
or click the "Enter" Button. (The "Next" button in the above screenshot
is a green Enter button that changes to a yellow Next button after a correct answer is given.)
Hitting the keyboard "Enter" after the Next button is displayed will also
move you to the next problem.

The Windows binary doesn't have any special requirements.
