Landlocked Countries of the World Quiz Information

Getting the arrows in is easy, if you have software that lets you do it. I use PhotoShop Elements. I think you could do the same in PowerPoint, and any of a number of other applications.

Really, all you need is an app that lets you drag or paste the pic in and then modify it, and save it in a PurposeGames-compatible format.

So in this case, I got the image from Wikimedia, put it into the application, and modified it with the tools available in PhotoShop Elements. I cropped the map to exclude much of the world (making the rest larger), and cut out & repasted Europe, resizing it to make it larger. I drew in the box around Europe by using the line tool, and also used the line tool to add arrows. I used the paint bucket to color countries of interest.

nice game and cool map, how did you get those arrows in?

nice game

Thank you all for the nice comments.

I saw the topic in Wikipedia, and did a search (or series of searches) back here on PurposeGames. I was a bit stunned to realize that it hadn't been done previously.

Just goes to show that we're not even close to exhausting the potential here at PurposeGames.

Great idea!

Agreed, challenging and good!

Really great game tickman!

Clever game!
