Overview
Thanks for looking at Anatomy Hangman. This PDA program will help you learn human anatomy while you play the classic game of hangman. Guess the word or face the gallows! Humorous animations accompany your gameplay. Ideal for medical students and others, the game features hundreds of words at an appropriate level of detail for medical education in the following catagories:

Arteries
Bones
Brain
Muscles
Soft Tissue Structures

Each catagory provides word selections appropriate for students in medicine or anthropology while avoiding obscure structures. Catagories may be selected individually or in combinations to accomodate study by system.

Bone up on your anatomy today!

Installation
You must have SuperWaba installed on your PDA for this program to execute. Executables for SuperWaba v2.2 are included and should be hotsync'd to your PDA:

SuperWaba.prc
SWNatives.prc
SuperWaba.pdb

Anatomy Hagman is contained in the following files which must also be loaded on your PDA:

Anat_HMan.prc
Anat_HMan.pdb
Hng_Anat_w1.pdb
Hng_Anat_w2.pdb
Hng_Anat_w3.pdb
Hng_Anat_w4.pdb
Hng_Anat_w5.pdb

Once the above programs are loaded, just run Anatomy Hangman like any other PDA program.

Hints

Words in the "Arteries" catagory do not include the word "artery". For example, you will need to guess "exteral iliac" instead of "external iliac artery". For this reason, it may be easier to play this catagory by itself.
Toggling an anatomy system does not affect the current game, it affects the next game.

Uninstallation
Remove Anatomy Hangman by using the "delete" option from the launcher. All related datafiles will also be removed. Delete SuperWaba the same way.
