Prologue: To read maximally our eyes must move rapidly. Some of us are lucky to naturally develop this at an early age. It might still be possible for others of us to learn later.
The idea of the asked-for program is to help with reading development.
Disclaimer: No guarantees. Use at your own risk.
=====
Objective: Randomly paint a dot in a graphics screen (programmer's choice)
In, say, an .ini file within program folder, user provides the following information:
-- Dot color (default=red)
-- Size of dot (default=100 pixels)
-- Background color (default=white)
-- Ability to do it again. Preferably automatically, with xxx milliseconds between each iteration. (default=250)
-- Finally, a timer value for the program to keep going until time is up. (default=3 minutes)
So, upon execution the program will show a series of dots appearing on the screen, just one at a time, in various random places. Once time is up, (say in 3 minutes) program can terminate.
In summary, double-click on desktop shortcut, program comes up, does it's thing, and terminates after specified time.
Possible complication: Size of graphics window. If user adjusts size of window, what happens to the dots? Do some fall outside the window? Do the dots become smaller, in proportion to the window size? Does the program remember window position? Hmmm....
Thanks a million!
